The growth of the stone industry depends on decentralization
Country Experience Miner: We have very capable architects and artists in our country who value the art of sculpture and architecture in Iran.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, an economic activist cited liquidity shortages as one of the main causes of the downturn in the stone market, stating that stock markets could be the country's largest economic source and play an important role in creating fair and transparent markets. With the variety of tools offered in an active exchange, the general public can benefit from the economic value added created.
Behzad Nikfar, a miner with a long history of economic growth and development, called for the creation of large investments and said: "In a healthy and dynamic stock market, one can invest their small investments in the community by selling stocks and bonds and strengthening the sense of community participation." Manufacturing and trade led and prevented capital from moving into speculative activities. Entering into speculative activities such as buying currency and cars is dropping money out of the production cycle, which means reducing employment, exacerbating unemployment and inflation.
He described the unknownness of the stock exchange in most parts of the country as one of the main factors behind the weak presence of active companies and said that inadequate management of foreign exchange resources has caused many liquidity in the form of bank deposits to banks, in some Sometimes this liquidity has entered the housing market. If we properly direct these resources to manufacturing plants we can eliminate the brokerage system.
Stone industry activist noted: Housing construction in our metropolis is haunted and no longer responds. Decentralization of metropolises through policies adopted by the government can significantly boost the construction industry. There is scope for construction and population growth in different cities, but it is up to the government to decide how to get into this debate and how to provide for the migration of citizens from metropolitan areas.
"There are many small stone mills in the country that are active in the field of stone processing," he said. These small units alone do not have much power to compete in the international arena, and with the slightest difficulty they stop working. If these small units are thought to unite and continue to operate as one large factory, their power will be greatly increased and will be able to appear with greater power in the international arena.
"One of the most important attractions of tourist countries is the existence of rich architecture and sculptures made by the artists of that country." We have so many talented architects and artists in our country that we can thrive on the art of architecture and sculpture in Iran. We will succeed in the tourism industry when we have more magnificent architectural sites as well as valuable visual arts than other countries.
