Imperial Iran's government between August 1977 and August 1978 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The cabinet led by Jamshid Amouzegar was announced on 7 August 1977.[1][2] It succeeded the last cabinet of Amir-Abbas Hoveyda who submitted his resignation on 6 August.[1][3] Major goal of Amouzegar's cabinet was to implement a new liberal economic program to stop inflation.[2] The cabinet significantly decreased the annual financial aid given to mosques and religious organizations which had very negative effects on the relations between the state and religious establishment.[4]
