According to Ecoiran on August 22, 2026, Iran's government is nearing a final decision to raise food-coupon (kalabarg) credit by up to 23 percent, with the increase possibly taking effect from the start of Shahrivar (late August). The report said the decision has not yet been finalized, and amid inflation and rising prices for basic goods, questions remain about how much real impact the increase would have on household budgets.
