A recent survey released by the Iranian Chamber of Commerce shows that Iranian manufacturing companies are rapidly depleting their raw material inventories due to the dual pressures of supply chain disruptions and high costs on industrial production. The survey data shows that Iran's manufacturing raw material inventory index fell to 39.3 in August from approximately 44.5 in July, while the overall Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) dropped to 46.9. Generally, an index below the 50-point threshold indicates economic contraction. The Iranian Chamber of Commerce warns that the continued depletion of raw material inventories, coupled with weakness in other parts of the supply chain, could become one of the most severe factors limiting the growth of Iranian industrial production in the coming months.
