to report Online economy According to Fars, a well-informed official in the Ministry of Labor reacted to this news following the publication of allegations that the amount of smart goods was significantly increased by one of the MPs.
Contradictions in statements; The Ministry of Labor rejected the philosophical claim
Previously, Peyman Philosofi, a member of the Agriculture Commission of the Islamic Parliament, in a conversation with one of the media, referring to the government’s plans, stated that there is an intention to increase the amount of goods by 20 to 30 percent.
He also emphasized on the need to stabilize the prices of goods and allocate subsidies to producers to stabilize this project.
But an informed official in the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare announced in a conversation with our reporter that the number announced by some members of the parliament has no basis or truth.
This official, who did not want to be named, added: The proposals of the Ministry of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare are being carefully examined by the government, and until this process is finalized, any announcement of a specific figure is unofficial.
Future scenarios based on the new exchange rate
Previously, Saeed Yaqoubandish, deputy of welfare and economic affairs of the Ministry of Cooperative, Labor and Social Welfare, explained the technical details of this plan and described two main scenarios for the smart shopping cart.
He stated that the first scenario is based on a 2386 kcal daily basket (approved by the Nutrition Institute) and the second scenario is based on a 2100 kcal basket (including the previous items plus fruit).
Yaqubandish emphasized that in the new calculations, the changes in the exchange rate of the second hall, which are allocated to agricultural inputs and basic goods, play a key role. He said: “At the beginning of removing the preferred currency, the exchange rate was about 112 thousand tomans, which has now reached about 139 thousand tomans. These changes will be directly included in the calculation of the validity of the invoices.
Final decision by May 15
Ahmed Midari, the Minister of Labor, also said that based on the President’s order to review the support amount due to the changes in the exchange rate, the final proposal of the ministry has been submitted to the government. The task of implementing the new phase of this project is supposed to be determined by May 15.
Earlier, Iman Zanganeh, the spokesperson of the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labor and Social Welfare’s Vice-Chancellor for Welfare and Economic Affairs, also stated that if the proposals are approved, the credit increase will be applied from the new charge on May 15. Otherwise, the implementation will be postponed to June. But in case of delay, the difference of the first months of the year (except April) will be deposited to the beneficiary’s account.
