Khodadad Mirza Farman Farmaian
Iranian-British economist, banker and politician
Khodadad Mirza Farman Farmaian (8 May 1928[citation needed] – 16 December 2015) was the son of the Qajar Persian nobleman Abdol Hossein Mirza Farmanfarma and his wife Hamdam Khanoum. During the Pahlavi dynasty era, he held the post of governor of the Central Bank of Iran.
He was the chief architect of the 1960s Iranian economic boom. However, he often dismissed the Shah as incompetent. He fled during the 1979 revolution in Iran to London.[citation needed]
He died of lung cancer at the age of 87 in London, United Kingdom, on 16 December 2015.[1][2]
