Rahmatollah Akrami Appointed as Iran’s Caretaker Economy Minister

Rahmatollah Akrami has been appointed as Iran’s acting Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance following the impeachment of Hemmati by Parliament. Previously serving as deputy economy minister and acting minister in 2018, Akrami steps into a crucial role during a period of economic challenges.

Following the impeachment of Hemmati by the Iranian Parliament earlier today, President Masoud Pezeshkian appointed Rahmatollah Akrami as the acting Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance on Sunday afternoon. Akrami, who has been involved in the economic sector for some time, previously held the position of deputy economy minister, overseeing Financial Supervision and the Treasury Department. He also served as the acting economy minister for a transitional period extending from September to November 2018.

In summary, Rahmatollah Akrami’s appointment as Iran’s acting economy minister comes in the wake of Hemmati’s impeachment. Akrami’s extensive experience in the economic domain positions him well to address the challenges faced by the economy amid ongoing political changes.
