Iran made the first steps for implementing a economic plan that will make major economic changes.
There will be fundamental changes in banking, customs and taxsystems.It also includes changes in domestic supply systems, subsidization regulations and the national currency system.
It also foresees adjusting the country's currency, at a new rate against the dollar, thereby making imported goods cheaper.
The goal is to end rising inflation and ensure that low-income families pay less tax while benefiting from a greater share of government benefits.
The plan is strongly criticized by opponents who say that Iranian economy will be exposed to a surge of international competition, which they may not be able to survive.
