Realizing 8 economic growth requires growth in foreign investment

‘Realizing 8% economic growth requires growth in foreign investment’

TEHRAN - Samad Hassanzadeh, the head of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture (ICCIMA), has said that realizing the eight-percent economic growth, targeted in the country’s Seventh National Development Plan (2022-2027), requires a significant growth in attracting foreign investment.

Speaking at a meeting of the heads of ICCIMA committees on Saturday, Hassanzadeh said: “We are fully prepared for scientific and specialized research cooperation with the country's officials [in order to realize the mentioned goal]”

Many European companies are interested in investing in Iran, but due to the restrictions in the investment regulations, investment attraction does not have the necessary momentum.

“The heads of the specialized committees of the ICCIMA work hard for the progress of the country's economic sector and stand by the government as advisors,” he said.
