Pezhman Pashmchizadeh, Parliament’s Deputy for Supervision, told
lawmakers on Monday (Nov. 10) that based on evaluations by specialized
parliamentary commissions, the Petroleum Ministry achieved a score of 55.73 out
of 100, ranking first among ministries in meeting the plan’s objectives.
“The evaluation covered the performance of executive bodies in
implementing the mandates of the Seventh Development Plan,” Pashmchizadeh said,
presenting the report in an open parliamentary session. He added that his
office, beyond its legal responsibility to monitor compliance, had recently
restructured parts of its administrative system to enhance the oversight
process.
According to the report, other high-performing bodies included the Ministry
of Foreign Affairs, the Civil Servants Pension Fund, the Plan and Budget
Organization, the Judiciary, and the Ministry of Cooperatives, Labour, and
Social Welfare.
Across all executive entities, the Judiciary earned the highest
overall score with 62.50, followed by the Plan and Budget Organization (57.36),
the Ministry of Petroleum (55.73), and the Foreign Ministry (55.00).
At the lower end of the ranking were the Law Enforcement Command
(21.15), the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development (21.72), the Ministry of
Education (22.27), and the Social Security Organization (23.00).
The evaluation, conducted under Note 2 of Paragraph (A), Article 118
of the Seventh Development Law, provides the first official snapshot of how
ministries and major institutions have performed in the first year of the
plan’s implementation.
Analysts note that the Petroleum Ministry’s strong showing reflects
its progress in advancing production goals, developing downstream value chains,
and improving energy efficiency — key priorities set under the Seventh
Development Plan.
