Economic situation of Iran during the reign of Hoveyda’s prime minister (1973-1978).

Abstract

In this study, economic variables and the economic five development plan theories are studied. Subsequently, major infrastructures involved in economic development, such as agriculture, industry, services, and oil and energy sectors are reviewed, reflecting the developments in the country with an emphasis on the Hoveyda's prime minister period in the 1950's. In addition, important economic parameters such as inflation and gross domestic product were investigated using relevant histograms. This research is descriptive-analytic and we used statistical analysis methods to assess the economic situation at the moment. The results of this study showed that. The economic situation at that time was not the main reason for the overthrow of the Pahlavi regime and rather it was due to the religious reasons and ideological thinking.
