A member of the Board of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, referring to the existing challenges in the country's exports, announced that Iran's exports are under the influence of a paradox. This situation is particularly evident in the area of currency pricing and its effects on the country's foreign trade. He emphasized that the government must exit the currency pricing process to help improve export conditions.
Challenges of Iran's Exports
Exports of oil and other Iranian goods are under pressure from international sanctions and fluctuations in currency rates. These conditions have made it difficult for many exporters to effectively compete in global markets. According to this official, there is a need for a new approach in managing currency and trade policies.
Need for Change in Currency Policies
This member of the Board of the Iran Chamber of Commerce, criticizing the current currency pricing policies, said: "The government should instead of interfering in currency pricing, provide the necessary grounds for making exports more competitive." He also pointed out the necessity of creating conditions to attract foreign investors, which can help strengthen the country's exports.
He emphasized that with the government exiting currency pricing, exporters can continue their activities with more confidence, and thus, Iran's exports will be on a growth path. This is especially important for oil and petrochemical-dependent industries that are currently facing many challenges.
Currently, many economic experts believe that to solve export problems, instead of relying on government policies, the capacity of the private sector should be utilized. This requires strengthening infrastructure and improving the business environment, which can significantly contribute to the country's economic prosperity.
Overall, the state of Iran's exports requires a serious reconsideration of policies and approaches. If the government can create a favorable environment for business activities by making the right decisions and reducing interventions in the currency market, there is hope for improving export conditions and increasing the competitiveness of Iranian products in global markets.
