Cultural Background
In Iran, 'رشد اقتصادی' is often contrasted with 'تورم' (inflation). People often say that growth doesn't matter if inflation is higher. In Afghanistan, the term is used in the context of international aid and rebuilding infrastructure. Tajik Persian (Tajiki) uses the same term, though they might also use 'نمو' (Numu) in some formal contexts influenced by Russian structures. Expatriates often use this term when comparing the economy of their host country with their home country.
