Request for a support package of six hundred billion tomans for exporters
Chairman of the Export Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce: The Trade Development Organization has asked the Program and Budget Organization to grant export packages to exporters as export incentives. The amount of this support package this year will be about six hundred billion tomans, and so far no amount of this amount has been received.
According to the International Exhibition of Iranian Stone, Jamshid Nafar said about the details of the government's support package for exporters: "Everything depends on the Trade Development Organization being able to receive the budget of this support package, but considering the generalities raised, the main issue is attention." It's up to the infrastructure, because today the lack of the necessary infrastructure is quite obvious.
He continued: "The Trade Development Organization and the private sector believe that these costs should be spent on infrastructure, and that a small amount of the budget should be spent on urgent and necessary issues, such as the problems that have been created by Corona in border transportation." It is bordered by Bazargan and Turkey, so some exporters have been forced to ship their goods by air. As a result, their transportation costs have increased fivefold. The Trade Development Organization needs temporary support until the return of normal conditions. Give the same route to exporters.
Regarding the amount of support packages provided, the person said: "Given that the situation is very special and critical, it is useless to mention the numbers that will not be allocated." What is certain is that the only way to achieve the slogan of "production jump" is to pay attention to exports. But what has been suggested is that the Trade Development Organization has asked the Program and Budget Organization to grant export packages to exporters as export incentives. The amount of this support package this year will be about six hundred billion tomans, and so far no amount of this amount has been received.
The head of the Export Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce, noting that these figures must be significant in order to solve the problems, said: "It is decided that the Program and Budget Organization will provide plans to the Trade Development Organization to determine the process." Due to various reasons, the support package was not awarded to exporters last year, so suggestions were made in the working group to add last year's support package to this year's rate.
He stressed that everything depends on the government's success in providing the program and budget for this support package, given the problems of sanctions, corona and export restrictions: "Given the interaction between the Development and Trade Organization and the exporters, we are confident." I think that if the situation of the government is appropriate and the program and budget organization pays special attention to this issue and its importance, we can achieve success.
"We accept that the situation in the country is unsatisfactory," he said. "Corona has caused a lot of damage not only to Iran's economy but also to the history of the world economy. But if we want to get through this crisis, we need an interaction between the private sector." And there will be sovereignty to achieve the desired results.
