Abulfazl Mortazavi, an economic expert, and Amirhossein Kakayi, a university professor and automotive industry expert, have engaged in a deep discussion about the existing challenges in controlling gasoline prices and the chaotic state of the car market. These two experts pointed out that excessive money printing aimed at compensating for energy imbalances has not only intensified the economic crisis but has also severely reduced the value of the national currency.
Why is Gasoline Price Controllable?
Mortazavi and Kakayi believe that gasoline prices are controllable due to the presence of government structures and continuous oversight. The pricing policies adopted by the government in this regard help maintain the price of this energy carrier. Meanwhile, the car market faces various challenges that hinder price control.

Challenges in the Car Market
On the other hand, the car market has been left to its own devices due to economic instabilities and the lack of a strong regulatory system. Kakayi points out that currently, car prices are influenced by multiple factors with no oversight. This has led to irrational price increases, making access to cars difficult for various segments of society.
The government is trying to improve the car market conditions by adopting some new policies, but these efforts have yet to lead to price control. Mortazavi notes that, in fact, addressing these challenges requires a fundamental revision of the country's economic and industrial policies.
Economic Consequences of Imbalances
Excessive money printing has not only affected gasoline prices but has also negatively impacted all economic aspects of the country. This has led to increased inflation and consequently reduced purchasing power for the people. Experts believe that if this trend continues, it will have dire consequences for the country's economy.
Ultimately, Mortazavi and Kakayi emphasize that to improve economic conditions and control prices, officials and policymakers need to think of effective solutions as soon as possible. Only then can we expect the car market to move towards stability and price control.
