Azerbaijan, Baku, September 4 /Trend, N. Umid
The daily debt of Iran's administration to the Social Security Organization (SSO) stands at some $12 million (based on official rate of 24,800 rials/USD), head of the SSO, Seyed Naghi Nourbakhsh said, Mehr news agency reported.
He went on to note that, the administration's debts to the SSO never would be zero due to an increasing number of compulsory insured people and the administration's share of insurance year by year.
The debts have not been paid during recent years, Nourbakhsh said.
In late August, Iranian media outlets quoted Iranian Minister of Labor, Cooperative and Social Welfare, Ali Rabiee as saying Iran's previous administration owes some $20 billion to the SSO.
On July 24, former head of the SSO, Saeed Mortazavi stated that ex-president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad`s administration has paid all of its debts to the organization.
Ahmadinejad`s administration transferred some companies and mines to the SSO to pay off the government's debts to the organization.
Another former head of the SSO, Rahmatollah Hafezi said on August 24 that transferred companies go bankrupt.
In mid-July, some Iranian media outlets reported that documents related to financial corruption, amounting to 100 trillion rials (about $4 billion based on official rate of 24,800 rials per each USD) in Iran's SSO have been lost.
Soleiman Jafarzadeh, the head of the investigation group, said that over 50,000 sheets of paper related to the massive financial fraud have been lost.
