伊朗对高消耗用户提高汽油价格以应对经济困难

伊朗周二上调了高消费用户的汽油价格，月购油量超过110升的消费者需按100,000里亚尔/升的价格购油（约7美分），较之前价格翻倍1。这是伊朗自12月以来第二次提高汽油价格，新政策将影响全国15%的消费者1。

伊朗采取这一措施是为了缓解数月战争对经济造成的压力1。该国目前面临严峻的能源困境：8月日均汽油消耗达1.45亿升，而国内日均产能仅为1.22亿升1。与此同时，伊朗的年通胀率约为67%1，美元兑里亚尔汇率在周一达到2.22百万里亚尔1。尽管采取了提价措施，伊朗汽油价格在全球范围内仍属最低之列1。

伊朗在2019年曾因汽油价格上调引发全国抗议，导致300多人丧生1。

Iran increased gasoline prices on Tuesday for its highest-consumption users, marking the second price hike since December as the country grapples with economic strain from months of conflict.1 Under the new policy, consumers purchasing more than 110 liters per month will pay 100,000 rials per liter—approximately 7 cents—double the previous rate.1 The measure is expected to affect 15 percent of the country's consumers.1

The price adjustment reflects Iran's deepening energy deficit and broader economic pressures.1 The nation consumes an average of 145 million liters of gasoline daily but can only produce 122 million liters domestically, creating a significant supply shortfall.1 With an annual inflation rate of approximately 67 percent, Iran faces mounting fiscal challenges that have prompted successive price increases.1 Despite these hikes, Iran maintains among the world's lowest gasoline prices.1

A comparable fuel price increase in 2019 triggered nationwide protests that resulted in over 300 deaths.1 The government's latest move demonstrates its willingness to implement economically difficult measures despite the political risks, underscoring the severity of the country's current fiscal situation.
