Iran's gross domestic product (GDP), including the oil sector, has registered a positive growth of 0.8 percent in the first nine months of the current Iranian calendar year (March 20 -December 20, 2020), according to the data released by the Statistical Centre of Iran (SCI).
The figure increased by 0.2 percent with oil excluded, IRIB reported.
The SCI data put the growth for the country’s agriculture, industries, and mining, and services sectors at 5.5 percent, 3.7 percent, and -1.8 percent, respectively for the mentioned period.
Back in December 2020, Governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) Abdolnaser Hemmati had announced that the country’s GDP growth - both with and without oil - became positive.
