Sanctions and the FATF blacklist hinder trade
Member of Iran Chamber of Commerce: Why does our vaccine reach us with so many requests, pleas and intermediaries? Because of sanctions and the FATF blacklist, we are unable to conduct our transactions properly.
According to the International Iranian Stone Exhibition, Ali Shariati in response to the question of whether the goal of $ 40 billion exports will be achieved this year? He said: "It should be noted that we are talking specifically about the program of Mr. Modarres Khiabani, who, despite having a good program, could not vote." This year, we have had a 35% drop in exports to major countries like Iraq, and if we want to prevent a further decline or even increase it, we need a comprehensive plan because it is not a one-dimensional task.
He continued: for such an action, a working group should be formed with the presence of the Central Bank to see what assistance and facilities have been provided for the return of export currency for exporters. It remains to be seen what agreements and moves the Trade Development Organization will make. Of course, Mr. Modarres Khiabani, who did not vote to implement this plan, and Mr. Zadboom, according to their last words, did not talk about development plans, and according to him, the reconstruction of Syria and Iraq is a priority. Of course, this is a very good thing, but if it has a plan for the growth of exports and exporters, it can certainly be attractive to exporters.
A member of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce added: "Therefore, this goal can not be achieved, because we have had a 35% decrease in exports, which we must compensate for this 35%." In this case, we have to start from zero, which requires planning to grow at least 60 to 70 percent compared to the current situation, which will both compensate for the reduction in exports and lead to growth. Officials should talk about these programs; Unfortunately, Mr. Hemmati, who is one of the leaders of this triangle, publishes his message on Instagram and also closes the comments.
He added: "Currency revenues, which are obtained with great difficulty, are spent on macro-government policies such as 4,200 tomans." Approximately 10 times the country's oil revenue is used in protectionist policies, whether right or wrong requires detailed expertise. However, one of the inputs and airways in this situation is the issue of export growth, and we have no choice but to do so.
Shariati clarified: Of course, the decrease in exports was predicted. But exporters are grappling with currency transfer conditions, the corona crisis, time and regulations. Also, ordinary people do not understand the love and hatred that exists in the Arab countries and the Persian Gulf, except in cases where it has an objective example, such as the story of Al-Kathir, which was an example, and all people touched it with their flesh and skin.
He added: "We have been witnessing this discrimination and pressure on exporters for several years, and the biggest problem in the issue of exports is the lack of planning of the Trade Development Organization. They plan.
Referring to the impact of the FATF issue on the country's trade process, a member of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce added: "The FATF is an issue that has its pros and cons." In my opinion, people should see its tangible effects, for example, they have been looking for the import of influenza vaccine in the country for several months; One has to ask why not? And the vaccine does not arrive on time? Is it not paid on time? This is not because we do not have the money or do not know where to buy it, but because we have a problem with the FATF and cannot transfer the money.
"Everyone knows this money transfer is for vaccines and treating people, but it is difficult to transfer money when we are on the FATF blacklist," he said. Money is easily transferred all over the world, but why does our vaccine reach us with so much demand, begging and mediation? Because of sanctions and the FATF blacklist, we are unable to conduct our transactions properly.
