Image
  While sovereign wealth funds tied to oil revenues in Iran’s neighboring countries have surpassed $3.6 trillion, a new report by the Iranian Parliament Research Center reveals the extensive depletion and misuse of Iran’s National Development Fund (NDF). According to data from the Parliament Research Center, between the establishment of the National Development Fund (NDF) in 2011 and March 2024, about 82% of its $161 billion in revenue has been spent. Notably, 88% of the loans disbursed by the fund went to the government and public institutions, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). In effect, a fund intended as a savings mechanism for oil revenues has instead served as a financial lifeline for inefficient state entities. Thanks for reading!

U.S. Sanctions Slow Iran’s Electricity Generation And Trading

Image
By  Dalga Khatinoglu The peak electricity demand in Iran and its neighbor clients Afghanistan and Iraq happens in warm months, but during this period last year Islamic Republic’s exports plunged due to high demand at home. Its electricity imports from Armenia and especially Turkmenistan have been declining dramatically since September. This is possibly due to U.S. banking sanctions, which restrict Iran’s ability to pay its bills. During international sanctions prior to the nuclear deal (2011-2016), Iran was also unable to pay for Turkmen gas and electricity imports, running up $2bn in debts. Iran’s electricity trade during last and the previous fiscal years (GWh/month): ​ Power Generation Iran increased nominal power generation capacity by 2.3% last year; less than half of projected growth, but its actual electricity generation increased by only 1% to 312 TWh, a fifth of projected plan. The growth rate for actual power generation is far below nominal capacity, beca...
