Iran’s breakthrough nuclear deal with six world powers
has promoted the Islamic Republic to the top of the list
of the most improved nations in the world, a US-based
research institute says.
“The election of moderate Hassan Rouhani as president, [and]
a historic deal with the West over its nuclear program all
contributed to Iran proving to be the most improved country in
the world over the past year socially, economically and
politically,” the Fund for Peace concluded in a new survey.
President Rouhani took office last August following his election
victory in June.
The research by the Washington-based institute, which surveys
countries based on twelve political, economic and social
indicators, said Iran “ranked first” in the category of the most-
improved nations.
In April, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) said Iran’s
economy is stabilizing and will experience a considerably
stronger growth if Tehran reaches a final nuclear deal with the
six powers.
The IMF said in its report that Iran's economy shrank by 1.7
percent in 2013, but estimated that it would recover in 2014
because of the Islamic Republic’s structural monetary reforms
even if sanctions relief under the Geneva interim nuclear deal
exist only for a short time.
Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security
Council – Russia, China, France, Britain and the US – plus
Germany will resume the sixth round of talks over Tehran’s
nuclear energy program in the Austrian capital of Vienna on
Wednesday.
Iran and the six countries have been holding talks to iron out
their differences and finalize a deal, which would end the
standoff over the Islamic Republic’s nuclear energy program.
In November 2013, the two sides signed an interim six-month
deal, dubbed the Joint Plan of Action, in the Swiss city of
Geneva. The six-month agreement came into force on January
20.
