روزنامه بنيان باور ناظران داخلي و خارجي امور ايران را منعكس مي كند و مي نويسد در اقتصاد ايران طي سال نو معجزه اي رخ نخواهد داد. ايستايي اقتصاد به اين معني است كه سرمايه ها روي آوردن به دلالي را به توليد ترجيح خواهند داد، بر تعداد بيكاران افزوده خواهد شد و نرم تورم بخش بيشتري از قدرت خريد قشر هاي تنگدست را خواهد بلعيد. اقتصاد ايران تنها به درآمد نفتي متكي است كه آن را از غرق شدن حفظ مي كند.
