Export $ 100 billion in three years
Chairman of the Export Commission of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce: If the government and the government in the export sector consult the private sector and involve it, we can achieve last year's exports and even export growth, but otherwise it will be very difficult to achieve.
According to the International Stone Exhibition of Iran, Jamshid Nafar, referring to the declining trend of exports in April this year compared to last year, said: In April of this year, this amount has reached one and six billion dollars, which is due to the problems. It is completely normal for the coronavirus, and this will be solved by opening the borders.
He continued: "Our main problems in exports are the lack of infrastructure, problems in the field of letters and management, and if we want to value exports, we must find solutions to these problems through the measures of the private sector and the government."
Regarding the possibility of achieving last year's exports, he said: "Our country is a country of capabilities and it has proved this during the eight years of holy defense and the war with Iraq. It was the people who achieved this with cooperation." Corona has also proven that the private sector and the people are modestly on the side of the government and the Ministry of Health to solve the problems.
He continued: "So we can achieve last year's exports and even more, provided that the government consults with the private sector, which touches on problems and issues closely." If that happens, we will achieve economic growth, but otherwise the chances of achieving economic growth will be very low.
Referring to export destinations, the head of the Chamber of Commerce's Export Commission said: "The selection of 15 neighboring countries along with China and India are the best export destinations selected by the Ministry of Silence, the Trade Development Organization and the government." We can create short-term, medium-term and long-term, and with a professional and correct view, we can achieve $ 100 billion in exports in a three-year period, which in its own way can be a leap in exports for the country.
He added that the second issue created by the Ministry of Industry and the Trade Development Organization, along with the targeting of 15 countries, along with China and India, is a geographical flow such as Eurasia. Contrary to all the places where we have seen a decrease in exports, we have seen an increase in exports to Eurasia, which we hope will be more successful in the second round of talks on the decision for the next eight months.
Referring to the countries of the Persian Gulf as the second area of support, Nafar said: "In the past, we had very good relations with the countries of the Persian Gulf, and these relations should be strengthened." Accordingly, a meeting will be held this week by the Export Commission, in which proposals from the private sector will be submitted to the responsible ministry.
"Another area that is very important to us is the ECO, where we have to look for preferential tariffs and enter into talks with neighboring countries, because these tariffs will help export growth, mutations in production and export mutations," he said. It will be desirable.
