1. Regarding electricity, what has Iranian governments done to increase spare capacity and wastage in the transmission network?
2. It been reported that in 2010 that Iran had 137 dams under construction and 546 planned. What is the latest update regarding these figures?
3. Iran has one of the lowest taxation ratios to GDP. What measures has the government taken to address this problem? Do you know the estimated loss revenue by this problem?
4. What are Iranians opinion regarding population? Larger Iran, Smaller Iran or stable Iran?
5. Can Iran refine its own Oil? If so, can you name and list the refineries?
6. What percentage of Non-Oil exports regarding total exports? Can anyone provide figures?
7. Has the Iranian government emphasized on a diversified economy?
8. Iranian women already wear Hijab loosely, do you ever see in the near future a relaxed of the Hijab law or even making it not mandatory anymore?
10. Can I get a breakdown of the sources of revenue regarding the Iranian government budget? How much is from corporate tax and personal income tax?
1.I think i said it in another thread,one of our problems is wastage,in fuel,natural gas and electricity.However,it has been improved after the subsidy plan,but we still lag in this part.Having so much resources makes us cursed.I think the situation is improving,government tries to encourage people for a reasonable usage of energy,also it's renewing the old transfer lines.That's a pretty hard job though considering the size of Iran.
2.Your numbers are wrong.Where did you get them from?It's 93 dams under construction and 173 at study and planning stage.546 is too much!Iran doesn't have that much of rivers.
3.Please read my reply to question number 4 in post #180.Our taxation system sucks.They have done many things to improve it,but still there are very problems in it.Many people easily evade paying taxes,especially,the rich ones.
4.I think a steady growth is best option for us.Iran has the youngest population in the world,but unfortunately,they are slowy aging,families rather to have less babies.An extensive plan can solve this problem.
5.Of course!Iran produces a lot of petroleum products and exports it.Also,we produce more than 90% of needed gasoline in the country.We couldn't do that in 4-5 years ago.
Iran has 9 major refineries in these cities:Tehran,Abadan,Tabriz,Kermanshah,Shiraz,Esfahan,Lavan island,Arak,Bandar Abbas.
6.in 2011,Iran Iran non-oil exports reached almost $44 billions,while in 2011,oil exports amounted for approximately 83-85 billions since oil prices didn't change very much from 2010 to 2011,which means Iran's non-oil exports are almost 35% of total export.
Iran
Iran Oil - exports - Economy
7.Of course,that's their main goal.Iran has an extensive development plan called Iran 1404 or Iran 2025,at that year,Iran should be the most powerful economy in ME,also largest producer of science and technology in ME,Africa and Central Asia.Also,Iran should decrease its dependence on oil to a minimum level until 2025.There are some difficulties in the way,sanctions is the major one.Also,it's assumed that no war will happen until that year.
8.I don't think so,but I completely support free Hijab for all women.It's way better than current situation.I hope this happens.
9.???
10.I couldn't find the exact figure.I will put it here if I find them.But as I explained,our tax system still lags,it shouldn't be very much.
. Good questions indeed. Bolded one was some thing which i appreciate and wanted to know more. Is that really true that Iranians built so many dams? Plus i read that youth population reduced in Iran.
