The Executive Assistant to the President emphasized that the 80,000 Tomans gasoline plan is not on the government's agenda at all, clearly stating that the adjustment of fuel prices is dependent on economic conditions and the balancing of wages and salaries. These remarks came in the wake of recent controversies surrounding fuel prices and their impact on people's livelihoods.
Background of the 80,000 Tomans Gasoline Discussion
Recently, rumors about the possibility of implementing the 80,000 Tomans gasoline plan surfaced, which faced various reactions from officials and the media. Some economic experts proposed this plan as a solution to cover the government's budget deficit and reduce dependence on oil revenues. However, the Executive Assistant to the President explicitly rejected this plan and emphasized that the government is seeking more sustainable and equitable solutions for managing the fuel market.

Impact of Balancing Wages and Salaries
The Executive Assistant to the President further stated that any change in fuel prices should be made considering the wage and salary conditions of employees and various segments of society. He emphasized that the government aims to create a balance between fuel prices and people's incomes to alleviate economic pressures. This approach seems to reflect the government's main goal of maintaining economic and social stability.
These statements come at a time when in recent months, fluctuations in global oil prices and changes in exchange rates have put significant pressure on domestic fuel prices. Experts believe that without a comprehensive and sustainable strategy, any decision-making in this area could have serious social and economic repercussions.
Ultimately, the Executive Assistant to the President urged the public to cooperate with the government in improving economic conditions and to value transparency and honesty in managing the country's economic resources.
