Study 37
Timeline
Event markers and optional external signals
Historical context
This study focuses on Iran’s post-war reconstruction period under President Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. It is intended as an exploratory economic history view, not a causal model.
Some series are annual WDI indicators, while market series are aligned using annual averages. These charts are intended for broad timing and pattern comparison, not day-by-day matching.
Country context map
Editorial atlas view of Iran: capital, major cities, and regional orientation.
Minimal map style by design: this layer is built for lightweight context and future overlays (regional indicators, elections, migration, trade routes, climate, and travel/photo notes).
1. CPI inflation (% YoY)
WDI FP.CPI.TOTL.ZG — Iran.
Data unavailable for this window.
2. Real GDP growth (annual %)
WDI NY.GDP.MKTP.KD.ZG — Iran.
Data unavailable for this window.
External debt (USD)
External debt measures obligations to non-resident creditors. It does not include domestic debt.
No data available
GDP decomposition: oil rents vs non-oil GDP (real)
Inflation-adjusted proxy using constant-price GDP and WDI oil rents as a share of GDP. Not an official non-oil GDP series.
WDI NY.GDP.MKTP.KD (GDP, constant 2015 US$) × NY.GDP.PETR.RT.ZS (oil rents % of GDP).
Data unavailable for this window.
3. Consumption, investment, and GDP (real)
WDI constant 2015 US$: NE.CON.TOTL.KD, NE.GDI.TOTL.KD, NY.GDP.MKTP.KD — Iran. Real series only (separate from nominal chart).
Data unavailable for this window.
5. Oil rents (% of GDP)
WDI NY.GDP.PETR.RT.ZS — Iran.
Data unavailable for this window.
Natural gas rents (% of GDP)
Natural gas rents are estimated resource rents as a share of GDP. They are not the same as government gas revenue or export revenue.
WDI NY.GDP.NGAS.RT.ZS — Iran.
Data unavailable for this window.
6. Exchange rate: official vs open market (annual)
Official: annual policy/WDI series; open: calendar-year mean of the merged open-market series.
FX data unavailable for this window.
Percent spread is shown only for years with both an official rate and an annual mean open-market rate.
7. Broad money (M2) growth vs CPI inflation (annual %)
Broad money (M2) growth and CPI inflation (same definitions as the M2 study).
Data unavailable for this window.
8. Imports & exports (% of GDP)
Data unavailable for this window.
9. Manufacturing & industry (% of GDP)
Data unavailable for this window.
10. Real wages / purchasing power
Minimum wage and related household series in SignalMap begin around 2010 in the current dataset; no separate wage chart is shown for 1368–1376.
Welfare and distribution
Gini index
WDI SI.POV.GINI (income inequality, 0–100). Survey-based; many years have no published value.
No Gini estimate in this window (SI.POV.GINI is sparse; none may fall in 1989–1997).
Poverty headcount
Poverty lines are in constant 2021 PPP dollars (inflation-adjusted).
World Bank international poverty lines for Iran (share of population below each line). Threshold text follows WDI metadata (PPP revisions).
No poverty headcount observations in this window (SI.POV.DDAY / SI.POV.LMIC are sparse and may not cover 1989–1997).
What this chart shows (in this dataset)
- Annual WDI panels are shown at Gregorian year keys; use the year-axis toggle for Persian (Solar Hijri) labels where supported.
- Open-market FX is merged daily/annual series; official rate is annual policy/WDI—compare broad timing, not day-by-day alignment with WDI shares.
- Minimum wage / household purchasing-power panels used elsewhere on SignalMap do not cover this window in the current dataset (see note on the page).

WDI/IMF may omit some years; charts only plot years with valid values.
In simple terms
Each small chart uses the same fixed calendar window (about 1989–1997) aligned to Persian years 1368–1376 on the axis when you choose Solar Hijri. Indicators are descriptive; co-movement is not a causal proof.
IMF/WDI coverage can leave gaps; where a series has no value, the chart shows a short “data unavailable” note instead of fabricating points.
AI-assisted interpretation
Generated from the visible series and selected period. Interpretive, not causal.
There are no annual inflation or GDP-growth points in the selected outer window yet; widen the window or wait for data to load to see a summary here.
All series are annual; years without a published value show as gaps, not interpolated points. Treat timing overlap as descriptive context—not evidence that one indicator mechanically caused another.
