Iranian Economy Minister Madani-Zadeh said the monthly shopping voucher will be increased in line with inflation to $8 per month, according to the report. The announcement reflects the regime's response to rising living costs amid ongoing economic pressure.
Iranian Economy Minister Seyed Ali Madani-Zadeh announced on Monday that the monthly shopping voucher for citizens will be increased to $8 per month, adjusted for inflation, according to a report from the Iranian affairs source. The statement comes as Iran faces persistent economic strain — high inflation, soaring food prices, and a minimum wage of roughly $100 per month have made basic goods increasingly unaffordable for many families. The Zioneer previously reported that meat prices in Iran have reached record highs, with imported frozen meat selling for about 1.22 million Toman per kilogram. The minister's pledge of a modest voucher increase appears aimed at alleviating some of the pressure on household budgets, though the $8 monthly sum remains far below what would cover a family's basic food needs. No further details on the implementation timeline or eligibility were provided in the report.
