The mining sector seeks a share of six and a half percent of the country's GDP
This year has been named the "Leap of Production" by the Supreme Leader of the Revolution, and one of the sectors that can be characterized by endogenousness and extroversion is the mining sector, which together with the mining industry should account for six to six and a half percent of GDP. In the Sixth Development Plan.
According to the Iran International Stone Exhibition, the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade had previously announced that the country's mining and mining industry has all the characteristics of a resilient economy and enjoys high value-added capability, so according to the Sixth Share Development Plan It will increase in the national economy.
According to the estimates of the Ministry of Industry, the share of the mining sector in GDP within the framework of the sixth development plan of the country will increase from one and one percent to one and a half percent, and taking into account the five percent share of mining industries, estimates increase.
The policy of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade is to reduce the risk of investment for people (private sector) in the mining sector and focuses on basic geological information to boost mining activity.
Targeting the triple share of mining in the national economy
The fact that the Supreme Leader of the Revolution and the President of the Republic emphasize the need to develop mines and increase the share of mines in GDP, which is now one percent to three times the expected level, but global developments, especially the spread of corona on five continents have upset all equations. Continues to expand its territory.
The capacity of the mining industry to grow is also a factor in achieving the expected improvement in the mining sector. Statistics show that in the last four years, the iron and steel group in the stock market has grown by one thousand four hundred and eighty percent and shows a fifteen-fold increase. , While the total stock market grew by one thousand ninety-five percent, or about ten times.
Mine development is a necessity
Today, the country's economic situation, as well as the expansion of sanctions on mining development, have made it a serious necessity for the country, and it is expected that its one percent share of GDP will triple.
Mining activists now believe that by working in the mining sector and boosting its production and exports, it can be used to overcome the current difficult situation.
Mining as one of the economic pillars of the country can find a proportionate share in the growth of non-oil exports and the share of twenty-one to twenty-two percent in 1397 and its continuation last year is evidence of the capability of this sector.
The effort to expand mining activities and related industries depends on the trust of the nation and the government through the supervision of the mining safety sectors, government rights, exploitation licenses, and so on.
Laying the groundwork for investing in mines
Today, it should be believed that the mining sector is one of the best centers for investment and the government (Ministry of Industry, Mines and Trade) can identify areas for investment in mines, while preparing and compiling a list of fields that can be invested in mines, measures Support and facilitate transparency in this sector, and strongly refrain from changing laws and regulations, at least during the four-year term of government.
The conditions of the embargo now necessitate the localization of equipment and technology, and therefore the interaction with universities, which has been colorless or pale for about four decades, makes sense, and on the other hand, knowledge-based people can also renovate and renovate equipment and Machinery to accelerate mining activities is the source of the effect, while the equipment and machinery of this sector suffers severely from obsolescence and wear.
Assignment of mineral zones for private sector participation
The need to transfer mining areas has been one of the demands of the private sector in recent years, while in this regard, the serious support of the Mining Investment Insurance Fund is a good support in this regard. Increasing the fund's capital with Imidro's efforts can provide extensive coverage for activities Be in the field of mining.
The CEO of the Mining Investment Insurance Fund had previously said that the fund of this fund is currently three hundred and fifty billion tomans, which will soon be registered at five hundred billion tomans, and efforts are being made to reach one thousand billion tomans by the end of the year.
End of speech
The mining sector has about fifty-seven billion tons of identified reserves, of which about four hundred million tons of minerals are extracted annually from five thousand and six hundred active mines, so a privileged position for investment from iron ore and coal to copper, aluminum and It has gold, etc., but the private sector, the most influential element in this regard, needs the support of laws and regulations and evaluates it as the main support of its activities.
Today, if we can not play a role in the global market in the field of decorative stones, semi-precious stones and some other minerals, in proportion to the country's reserves, there is a need for convergence and overlap in this sector and the government and the private sector without support. They can not succeed. Even if it is realized, it is not unreasonable to expect that with an internal crisis (decisions to create the hour) or abroad, such as the recession and the spread of the corona, etc., all equations will be broken.
Now that the Islamic Consultative Assembly has entered its 11th term, it can play a defensive role within the framework of the law and provide the necessary support to the country's production activists. Accordingly, whenever they encounter a closed door, they can ask the parliament for help.
