An Iranian official says major economic indicators will no longer be announced by the Central Bank but will instead be reported by the Statistics Center of Iran, RFE/RL’s Radio Farda reports.

Iran's Central Bank has not stated the country's official economic growth rate for the past two years.

“The bank knows that Iran's economic growth rate was around 0.5 percent in 2008,” said Khavand. “But it has been under government pressure not to publish it as it is in contradiction with [President] Mahmud Ahmadinejad’s words in this regard.”
