According to ISNA, part of the communique said, "People are the true owners of national wealth and assets, but cannot control their usage. They have asked legislators to represent them in this respect, but the deputies should not abuse the assets of state-run companies, banks, national treasury and philanthropist organizations just because their real owners do not have the opportunity to exercise direct supervision over them."
The experts noted that many economic plans discussed by the lawmakers in recent weeks are sources of concern, calling on Majlis deputies to prioritize decisions that would not inflict losses on national assets.
"Some parliamentarians have launched measures for controlling the inflation rate and the rising prices of goods and services. It is obvious that superficial measures for controlling inflation can lead to political gains.
Can these lawmakers refer to any advanced or developing countries wherein their type of plans has helped lower the inflation rate?" they wondered.
The signatories also lambasted the policy of lowering the bank profit rate. "The only way to resolve the country's problems is by using scientific methods that have been used in other countries. It must be understood that failed tactics cannot be used time and again," the communique noted.
Signatories include Mehdi Behkish, Jamshid Pajoueiyan, Ahmad Reza Jalali-Naini, Mahmoud Khataei, Hassan Dargahi, Gholamali Sharzei, Mohammad Tabibiyan, Mehdi Asali, Mousa Ghaninejad, Gholamali Farjadi, Alinaqi Mashayekhi, Ahmad Mojtahed, Masoud Nili, Abolqassem Hashemi and Rahmatollah Niknam.
