I know a little bit about Iran. Let me introduce Iran from the following aspects so that you can have a simple reference whether you are traveling or working.
1. Introduction to Iran.
First, let me briefly introduce Iran. Its full name is the Islamic Republic of Iran.
As can be seen from the full name, Iran believes in Islam, with believers exceeding 90% of the country's population, and it is also the state religion of Iran.
The Mingjiao in Jin Yong's novel "Eternal Heaven and Sword of the Dragon" came from Persia, and for a long time more than 1,500 years ago, it was called Persia.
2. Geographical location and GDP: It is located in the southwest of Asia, with the capital Tehran. It is a Middle Eastern country and one of the major economies in Asia and the Middle East. It has relatively strong economic strength. Its gross domestic product (GDP) in 2012 was US$548.59 billion.
Ranking 21st in the world, with a per capita GDP of US$7,207, ranking 76th in the world according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
The oil industry is the backbone of Iran, which is the fourth largest oil producer and the second largest oil exporter in the world.
3. Exchange rate After briefly introducing Iran, let us compare the prices in Iran and China. If there is no reference, we will have no idea.
1 RMB to 5,278 rials (international exchange rate on July 22, 2018).
4. Here comes the point of comparison between prices and domestic prices. Finally, when it comes to prices, prices in Iran are about 1.5-2 times more expensive than in China.
However, it is true that water is more expensive than oil in Iran.
Minibuses, buses, and flights are all super cheap and comfortable.
5. Prices and Income To talk only about prices without talking about income is to be a hooligan.
There is a professional term here. The per capita GNP (purchasing power parity) data of various countries in the world is an indicator to measure the level of local economic development.
In fact, China's per capita purchasing area was lower than Iran's in previous years, but the gap has become smaller and smaller in recent years. The data in 2017 is that China's per capita GNP (PPP) is 16,800 (16,760), and Iran's per capita GNP (PPP) is 21,000 (21,010).
To sum up, judging from the data in 2017, prices in Iran are 1.5-2 times more expensive than domestic prices, but Iran’s income is 1.3 times that of domestic prices. In fact, they are almost the same.
Of course, it also depends on which city in China compares with which city in Iran. You can compare through the "Global Price Survey Website".
Because the website is all in English, if you don’t know or can’t find it, you can “Aite” me.
