Inflation in Iran has decreased twenty-five percent since President Mohammed Khatami assumed power in 1998, governor-general, Hassan Younes Sinki, was quoted as saying by the Iranian News Agency (IRNA).
He stated that a considerable part of the government's debts to banks and social security organization were repaid as a result of the obvious drop in inflation.
