A law that was born incomplete from the very beginning. As the targeted subsidies approach their sixth anniversary, they exist as a creature with mismatched limbs and body. A monster birthed by a government and parliament that aimed to create a revolution and a significant transformation in Iran's economy through targeted subsidies, but what has been achieved bears little relation to their desires. The law, from the very first day of its announcement, was a law designed not to be implemented correctly and completely, and the experience of two completely different governments and parliaments has not been able to correct the implementation process of this law and bring its neglected provisions into effect. The primary goal of the targeted subsidies was to deliver the subsidies to those who should be the focal point of social support, aiming to reduce class disparities and enable those with less to become more affluent. In this "A, B, Economy," we take a look at the real purchasing power of the monthly subsidies and whether this program has been able to come close to the goals of its designers or not. I invite you to listen to the thirtieth episode of this series.
