Economic Leadership: The Importance of Listening to Market Voices

In a recent meeting with economic activists and members of the Chamber of Guilds Dr. Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf the Speaker of Parliament expressed gratitude towards the market for its prudent response during recent tumultuous events. He acknowledged that while the market raised legitimate concerns and demands it skillfully distanced itself from chaos preventing adversaries from exploiting the situation.

Dr. Qalibaf emphasized the necessity for officials to actively listen to the market’s voice. He underscored the importance of having a cohesive strategy and the capability to address issues effectively. Engaging the public in decision-making processes is vital as they play a crucial role in the economic front.

He reiterated a long-held belief that the government in its broader sense should refrain from interfering in economic matters. Instead its role should focus on policy-making and oversight allowing economic governance to reside with the market participants. However he insisted that with this responsibility comes the need for both authority and accountability.
