After a couple of years their dominance in the economy will diminish. You can subsidise the charity side of the Bonyads directly. It shouldn't be by exemption. President Khatami did recently manage to tax the Bonyads a nominal one per cent on annual profits, giving the government the ability to track their operations, says the diplomat. But this is still far from the kind of anti-monopoly legislation favoured by most in private business.
Banking is another sector that Iran's economic reformists want restructured.
Some believe the banking system has to open up side by side with the private market. You can't work with the private sector when you have a centralised banking system.

After 1979, private banks were nationalised and effectively became holding companies for nationalised enterprises. Consolidation left a handful of very powerful, centralised institutions.
