A new World Bank report assesses that the removal of economic sanctions against Iran could significantly boost economic growth in Iran—including $15 billion in annual oil revenue—while potentially reducing global oil prices as much as 14 percent in the short run, depending on OPEC’s response, and opening up a significant market for exports.
Drawing from the report’s systematic and comprehensive analysis, Shantayanan Devarajan discussed the economic and geopolitical implications of Iran’s potential reentry into the global economy. Carnegie’s Uri Dadush discussed the economic consequences and Karim Sadjadpour will moderate.
