Production and economy should be left to the people
THE PRESIDENT: They say the problem is that this government is looking outwards, it just so happens that we are looking inward; Our main focus is on domestic production.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, President Hojatoleslam Hassan Rouhani today (Wednesday) in a cabinet meeting, referring to the election of the Minister of Industry in yesterday's session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, said: The Ministry of Industry has been run by a supervisor for several months and praise be to God With the vote of confidence of the parliament, a minister in this heavy responsibility was identified from today and he has taken the burden of responsibility. The Ministry of Industry is one of the ministries that is at the forefront of the fight against sanctions today, and is responsible for providing basic and essential goods and a large part of the production burden. Of course, the Ministry of Agriculture and other ministries are also responsible for production in their own sector.
He added: "There are four issues that are the main responsibilities of the Ministry of Industry today, and in the decree that I issued to the Minister of Industry yesterday, in addition to the decree, the policies that the Ministry of Industry should follow, the policy and program that the Ministry of Industry should follow." I announced. Today, the Ministry of Industry has four main and important responsibilities. The first is in the production leap section. This year, we all have a responsibility to fulfill this slogan, and in terms of producing our movement, this year will be better than previous years.
The President continued: "Despite the problems that Corona has created for us, the statistics given in the first four or five months of this year show that we are witnessing a growth in production compared to production in previous years; 18%, 8%, 12%. In various goods, from our important products such as steel and petrochemicals to the goods needed by people such as home appliances and cars, all of this has grown significantly today compared to 5 months last year, and it is very important for our people to know that despite all The hardships and pressures of sanctions on our manufacturing sector, both in agriculture and in industry, as well as in service sectors - which are still lagging behind in some areas of our services - in all three sectors, thank God, we are seeing significant growth.
He also said: "This leap and boom in production this year is a double duty on all of us." With the conditions of sanctions that we have, the main burden of providing foreign exchange in previous years was the issue of oil, condensate, gas and the like. Now we are facing problems and our situation is not the same as before. Some of our friends in cyberspace point out that there were and still are sanctions before this government.
The president continued: "Before this government, you used to say that some shortcomings are due to sanctions and others are due to management. Now what do you say today?" I must say that the economic war has taken place in these three years. What happened in the past was more or less sanctions, not war. Under the previous government, the government exported at least one million barrels of oil. That is oil at the price of $ 120, in the days when the price of oil had come down, that is, in early 1392, it had been renewed at $ 104. That means the price was over a hundred dollars. Of course, this does not mean that we were afraid of the conspiracies of the enemies and retreated or had problems, but the conditions of war are different from the conditions of peace, and everyone should know these facts and pay attention to them.
Regarding the fourth task of the Ministry of Silence, he said: "The fourth task of this ministry is to monitor the market. It is very important that in times of war we take care of the market, warehouses and customs." These decisions have been made in recent days so that the central bank can help the customs to release 8 million tons of stored goods, which is 3.5 million tons of basic goods. The goods were bought, the goods were shipped, unloaded at the port and stored there, but today they cannot be cleared through customs. Well, of course, there are some problems that need to be resolved, but we need to speed it up so that the Ministry of Silence can closely monitor the market and the warehouses.
The President continued: "In the recent meeting of e-government, we decided that in the next meeting, which will be held in a few weeks, our subject will be a system that starts from order registration and allocates and provides currency and goes to order goods and when goods are provided." And when it is transported on a ship and when it arrives at the port and when it is unloaded and when it leaves the port and in which port it is placed and then in which stores it is distributed, this whole cycle must come inside the system. If we gather all the information in this system, then monitoring will be easier. Of course, along with the Ministry of Silence, the Ministry of Justice, the government penitentiary and the judiciary, we must all work together to resolve this issue and we can reach a conclusion.
Rouhani also said: "I want to make a point here in front of the dear people, because sometimes there are some things in the media that need to be explained and people know the truth." They say the problem is that this government looks outwards, if it looked inward we would not have these problems. All right, I say the answer is Thursday. Every Thursday we are responding to this. Incidentally, we look inward.
The President stated: "Our main focus is on domestic production. These openings are being done every day. Just yesterday, a 3,500 billion toman electricity project was inaugurated." Usually in previous governments, during the year, the electricity that was added was, for example, 1600 to 1700 MW. We opened 1610 MW of electricity in these 5 months and it will continue until the end of the year. We have several power plants and 10 more power plants will be opened by the end of the year. Are we looking outwards or are we looking inward? We, whose agricultural production has increased from 97 million tons to 130 million tons, does this mean that we are looking inwards or outwards? We, who approached self-sufficiency and self-sufficiency in gasoline, diesel, gas, wheat and even in some products, did we look inwards or outwards? We look inward.
He added: "Our gas increases from 600 million cubic meters per day to 1000 million cubic meters because we look inward." The fact that our steel is almost double that of 1992, that we have 70% overproduction in aluminum, in other respects and in petrochemicals, shows the movement created in the second and third leaps, so this statement is incorrect, incorrect and wrong, and Do not repeat this distorting statement. Do not say that the government is looking outwards.
Rouhani continued: "Yes, the government's view is that we should interact with the world, and we will repeat this a thousand more times;" Interaction! We said constructive interaction, the Supreme Leader corrected, saying "constructive interaction" Yes, constructive interaction, extensive interaction, we must have a relationship with the world. We import, we export, we import and export goods. Whether we look outwards or inwards, you see today that we have 350 knowledge-based companies today, we did not have a single seed on the first day of this government. We now have 350 companies.
The President emphasized: We have 5,200 knowledge-based companies, at the beginning of the government we had 55 knowledge-based companies, 95 times more knowledge-based companies, all these knowledge-based companies that have been created inside. It is looking at the youth, it is looking at the university and the educated youth of this society. Tell the facts to the people, tell the problems, but also explain to the people what has been done and tell the people to know the facts about our situation. If someone says that all the problems are on the executive management of this government, it is wrong and wrong. We all have a heavy burden today, we must bear this heavy burden and reach our destination, the three forces, the armed forces and our dear people.
The President emphasized: We must leave the work to the people, that we say the shares should be left to the people, that we say the companies should be handed over to the people, that we say the factories should be handed over to the people, that we say the policies of Article 44 should be Run, do not discourage our managers, now if there is a case, assuming the transfer of the problems found, then go and fix the problem. Let's not question the principle of transfer, the work should be left to the people, yes there are things, for example, it is infrastructure, these should be taken over by the government, there are important production factories and the mother may be taken over by the government, in deprived areas It should be invested and ordinary people cannot and it is not expensive for them to invest, the government should invest there, but we should leave the rest to the people, we should facilitate the people to come. One company should be transferred so much, but if it is said that 10 other companies that are in line will not come anymore.
"As long as the economy and production are in the hands of the government, our problems will not be solved," Rouhani said. We must free the competition and let the people come on the scene. We have to attract Iranian capital, attract foreign capital, provide security, if we provide security to Iranians abroad, there is a lot of capital abroad, these will come inside. It is in their interest, it is in the interest of the people and the country. We have to give them personal security, we have to give security to their capital, and if someone wants to take out the value, he must be able to take it out easily. Therefore, in this regard, the government is completely of the opinion that we should leave production and the economy to the people, except in special matters, so that we can accelerate our movement in the year of the leap in production.
Rouhani said: "Of course, now we are in a situation where every day the Americans are looking for a new conspiracy to carry it out." The Americans were caught in a very difficult situation, now if last night some of our people saw the debate or read it in the press and cyberspace today, you will see what situation they are in. On the one hand, they had the worst management in Corona, on the other hand, the worst unemployment has taken hold of them today, on the one hand, the internal unrest is worse than before. On the other hand, in foreign policy, they did not achieve any victory. They have always failed in foreign policy. Not only for Iran, but also for the region and the Pacific and Europe and NAFTA, they were unsuccessful everywhere. A country that has so many problems inside is natural that it wants to take them to the outside world. He is also conspiring against Iran.
He added: "Of course, as long as we take the name of America and say that America is conspiring and committing crimes, the foreign channels are so mourning and mourning, they say no, it is not like that." When the government says that the address is Washington DC, they get very angry and some people follow them in the corner, whether you like it or not. Today, the United States has pursued the most hostile and criminal policies against the Iranian nation and its 84 million people.
The President continued: What is the way to face these problems? Except for unity, except for unity, except for holding hands, except for respecting these tribunes that the nation has given us [these have no way]. The will of our Lord Amir al-Mu'minin, who said, "People, if you want to be successful and victorious, have a connection in your life, society, the hereafter, and your world, and get closer to each other." Help each other and reach out to each other, stay away from plotting against each other, which is intersection and separation.
Rouhani continued: "If we are on the path of separation and on the path of promoting party and factional rivalries, instead of considering the issues of the people, we will certainly not achieve the goals we should." Our enemies who were unsuccessful in these three years today, God willing, will be unsuccessful in these last months, the situation will not remain like this and we have changes. We can overcome these problems if we have to be strong and united and our voice is united and our actions are together. The way is synergy and cooperation, and the way is linguistic unity, and the way is practical unity. May God bless us all so that we can overcome the problems and achieve what our national goals are.
