One economic expert says Iran has good potential for growth in production, but it must first overhaul its cumbersome and inefficient laws.

According to Iran's International Stone Exhibition, Ismail Afshar said that the country's economy needs a knowledge-based peg, saying that productivity and competitiveness in the body of businesses must be enhanced, a matter that has also led the world economy.

He added: "Today, the world economy is also taking a new path with the knowledge of the day, and if we look at the world economy, we will see that the indicators of world economic development have also changed dramatically and innovation and knowledge-driven development have created new conditions;" As if oil companies were the biggest economic companies in the world in previous years, companies like Google, Microsoft and Amazon are now in the lead.

The economist said recently that a report was made public in the Majlis on the status of Iran in global economic indicators: "This report is highly reflective and calls for the need for fundamental changes in the economy, which are nowadays due to sanctions and The recession is not favorable, and its technological bottlenecks have been the target of Western sanctions.

Afshar continued: In the report provided by the Vice President of Science and Technology, Iran has been ranked in the indicators of innovation, economic mix, ease of doing business and competitiveness which shows that we do not have a good position and therefore we are forced to move towards fundamental change. Move the economic and administrative body of the country faster.

He noted: For example, although Iran in the innovation index from one hundred and twenty in the year, up to sixty-one in the year, and in the components of knowledge creation have been ranked twenty-three, but in the ease of doing business One hundred and twenty eight, business startup one hundred seventy-three, investor support in companies one hundred seventy three, eighteen nine competitiveness index, one hundred and seventy one macroeconomic environment and The commodity and labor market efficiency index is ranked one hundred and thirty-four.

Referring to the area of ​​the index of economic composition, ie moving countries from low-productivity activities to higher-productivity activities, the economic expert said: "It actually indicates to what extent countries exit crude and export. Value-added products are gone, and we are not well-ranked, as in the year out of the fifty-three billion dollars we have exported, our vast share has been related to crude oil and natural raw materials.

Afshar continued: These statistics are while Iran is ranked 23rd in the world of knowledge creation and 46th in human capital and higher education, indicating that the country has a very strong human resource potential.

According to him, if we put this manpower alongside the GDP rankings reported on various components from eighteen to thirty worldwide, we see that Iran has significant manpower potential alongside a large domestic market. All of this gives the message that if there is a serious leap in improving the business environment, we will see an increase in the index of economic composition, a growth that will overcome many crises.

The economist said: "Accordingly, substantial and sometimes inefficient laws and regulations that face the country's production must be substantially reformed. Although considerable action has been taken in recent years, the key question is how far we have been able to achieve this." The guidelines and laws we facilitate in everything from banking and taxation to licensing make the manufacturer just thinking about innovating, enhancing the productivity and competitiveness of its products.

Afshar reiterated: Sometimes it is seen that businesses are faced with uneven laws and regulations that lose their focus on development and presence in global markets, and note that comprehensive development on the one hand is a serious determinant in business managers. Economic and, on the other hand, need to facilitate the path of production by the state apparatus in order to bring about changes in order to improve the economy of the country in the event that sanctions create crises for the country's production.
