The most important point in naming Iranian New Year as “Year of Resistance Economy; Implementation and Action” may be the Leader of the Islamic Revolution dissatisfaction from implementation of the economic model in the country to select an economic name for 1395 once again with adding implementation and action to it.
Reviewing the recent selected titles by the Leader indicates that economic demands have been at his top priorities in the decade of progress and justice. Specifically, naming the years has had economic entity since 1387 including innovation and prosperity, reformation of consumption pattern, double efforts and double work, economic Jihad, national production; supporting Iranian capital and labour, political and economic epic, economy and culture with national determination and Jihadi management in order to achieve to the goals of the fourth decade of the Islamic Revolution. Yet, the motto of 1395 indicates that we are still at the beginning of the long road and many obstacles are ahead of implementing Economy of Resistance.
It seems that some officials do not believe endogenous development model. They believe the only path of Iran’s progress is in line with global economy. In a sense, economic strongholds have been occupied by liberalism. How Economy of Resistance, a model with internal base, can be implemented in this situation?
Therefore, it is necessary to deal with the thought in the first step. This way of thinking does not believe in internal development and domestic ability. However, it exists in intellectual and political atmosphere of the country about a century.
Accurate indexes should be specified to achieve the economic model in the second step as the Leader expressed them entitled as “ten necessary measures to save national economy” in a meeting with a large gathering of pilgrims at Imam Reza’s Holy Shrine.
Focusing on those economic chains of activities that have priority, reviving domestic production, avoiding imports that weaken domestic production, avoiding loss of financial resources that they should be entered to the country after JCPOA, having knowledge-based economy, reviving economic sectors that have been invested before, setting strict terms for the transfer of technology in all foreign transactions that we carry out, combating corruption, economic rents and smuggling in a serious manner, energy optimization, and taking a particular outlook towards medium-sized and small industries were ten issues stated by the Leader in order to implement Resistance Economy. Definitely, the main demand of the public from every three branches is presenting a transparency report of performance in these areas.
