Iran
Misery index score: 39.1
CPI inflation: 23.6%
Unemployment: 15.5%
Price controls, subsidies, and other rigidities undermine private sector growth and are proving to be a real drag on the economy, as is a rapidly-depreciating currency. This leads to rampant corruption and illegal business activities abound. The economy is also heavily dependent on oil and has suffered from international sanctions. Unemployment persists at double-digit levels.
