Iran’s Economy Ministry has established an “economic war headquarters” to coordinate responses to economic challenges caused by wartime conditions.
Deputy Economy Minister Morteza Zamanian announced the development on Sunday, according to Iran’s Tasnim news agency.
Zamanian said the new body would initially address issues within the ministry’s responsibilities and legal authority.
It will focus on quickly resolving war-related challenges affecting businesses, trade, financing and other key economic sectors.
However, some problems may require action from multiple government institutions. Therefore, the ministry will use its wider economic policymaking role to coordinate solutions.
Zamanian said officials could raise issues through the government’s economic commission and other economic headquarters when necessary.
New Body Aims to Cut Bureaucratic Delays
The deputy minister said the headquarters would centrally identify disruptions caused by wartime conditions.
It would then develop practical measures to resolve those problems and support affected economic sectors.
According to Zamanian, the mechanism aims to prevent issues requiring cooperation between several government agencies from becoming trapped in bureaucratic procedures.
He stressed that faster coordination would help authorities respond more effectively to economic pressures during the conflict.
Support Measures Planned for Businesses
The ministry is also preparing several measures to assist businesses facing wartime difficulties.
These measures include tax and customs support, banking facilities and financial instruments for affected companies.
Furthermore, officials will seek solutions that maintain business activity and improve access to financing during the challenging economic environment.
The new headquarters will therefore serve as a central mechanism for identifying wartime economic disruptions and coordinating government responses.
Through the initiative, Iran’s Economy Ministry aims to accelerate decision-making and reduce the impact of conflict-related pressures on businesses and financial activity.
