Iranian "Ham-Mihan" published an article just a few days after 45th anniversary of Iran's revolution comparing the prices of goods at the moment with those before the 1979 revolution.

According to the article, the annual inflation in Iran has always been around 20% and in some years over 40% , resulting in the staggering 900 thousand percent increase or 9000 times of almost all the items in the society.

This is very close the toe exchange rate of the US$ compared to Iranian Rial, back in the 79, 1 US$ was between 69 and 73 Rials, today it goes between 480k-620k rial.

As for the salary of the people, they have not followed the massive increase in prices and they have increased less than 5000 time, resulting in an almost 50% loss in purchase power of most of the citizens and a massive increase in poverty in the society.

I wish I could go back one day and have a chance to visit places I used to go to and have a chance to live (one last time at least) the joy of live in a place I always call home!

🔹گمان نمی‌رود که هیچ کشوری در تاریخ باشد که چون ایران نیم قرن را با تورم دورقمی گذرانده باشد. تورمی که به‌طور متوسط تا پنج‌سال پیش حول و حوش ۲۰ درصد در سال بود و در سال‌های اخیر به متوسط ۴۰ درصد رسیده است. از ابتدای انقلاب تا امروز قیمت‌ها حدود ۹۰۰ هزار درصد رشد داشته؛ یعنی ۹۰۰۰ برابر شده است.
