The Deputy Minister of Planning and Planning of the Ministry of Industry emphasized: An investor should not be suspended from one organization to another in order to create a production unit to start a business or develop a company, and should be involved in obtaining a license for months. This practice must change, the disturbing rules of investment development must be removed as soon as possible or changed in favor of investment.

* Economic instability; The most important barrier to production

Referring to a poll of about 3,000 industry, mining and trade activists and economic experts on issues related to production, Zarandi said: "The most important barriers to production by these people are macroeconomic instability (630 people), high inflation (400 people)."  Lack of adequate liquidity (360 people), foreign sanctions (330 people) and attractiveness of unproductive markets (249 people).

He said: "Banks (760 people), Tax Affairs Organization (750 people) and Social Security Organization (570 people) have been mentioned as the most important devices by these economic experts that have the greatest impact on the production process and need to be reformed and revised." Relationships are with production.

* The importance of statistical transparency in production support

Arman Khaleghi, a member of the board of directors of the House of Industry, Mines and Commerce, said that in order to support production and remove existing barriers, statistical transparency is the most important thing that the government can do: "If the government can provide accurate, accurate and Produce public access and instill the good tradition that people are not illegitimate and that they are supposed to be informed of information in a documented and transparent manner, this will be the greatest thing that the government can leave as a souvenir.

He added: "Statistics and information are in fact a compass for doing things better." If this compass is set correctly for the country's economy, it will be the best legacy the government leaves. In this way, in addition to removing barriers, better production support will be provided.

He pointed out that the country's foreign exchange resources are not wasted. Lack of transparency causes a waste of resources in the country, he continued: it is important to know how much and with what capacity there is from each production line in the country, how much raw materials are needed and how much product they produce. Once this information is available, we can more easily decide how to meet the needs of the country.

* losing time; A major obstacle to production

Ebrahim Jamili, head of the Iranian House of Economics, also believes that one of the major obstacles we must address is not wasting time in decision-making. In many cases, we make decisions, but only when we miss the opportunity to do something. Even if a decision is made in time, it will be implemented and we will do it late.

According to him, for many years, production has been damaged by obstacles such as banks and has even reported the problem to all officials, but the main obstacle remains monetary and banking policies.

"Hasn't a law been passed that requires banks to close their businesses, so why hasn't such a decision been implemented so far?"

He added: "Banks are still competitors of the private sector and easily provide facilities to their companies, and in the past, LCs were easily opened for these companies."

The head of Iran's Economic House added: "Banks compete with production and the private sector, and we are witnessing this wrong practice in the field of insurance and taxes."

He continued: "Lack of accountability is one of the most important obstacles to production. Currently, there are dozens of correspondences with ministries, but no answer is given."

* Contradictory rules on imports

Ehsan Arkani, Deputy Chairman of the Special Commission for Production Leap in Parliament, regarding the role of import and trade policies in the production process, said: "Import should be targeted, ie in areas where we need raw materials and machinery and the possibility of producing them in the country." No, we have imports.

"I do not believe in a view that denies imports and a view that endorses unregulated imports," he said. Imports of these items can provide a new production line in the country.

The deputy chairman of the Special Commission for the Leap of Production continued: "Part of the country's problems in the field of imports are due to contradictory and sometimes contradictory laws and regulations, some of which are also approved by the parliament."

Arkani added: "Most of these laws are related to directives and executive instructions and complex mechanisms and failed bureaucracy in devices related to the category of import and production."

He said: complexes such as customs, industry, mining and trade, agricultural jihad, social security and labor administration, etc., although clear laws have been passed in this area, but by issuing instant directives, importers and producers are affected. They have a problem.

The deputy chairman of the Special Commission for the Leap of Production called for the reform of redundant and contradictory laws and regulations, adding: "The major part of the problems is related to the performance of the executive branch and the government."

* It has worn out the office structures of the producers

In this regard, Morteza Afgheh, a member of the faculty of the Faculty of Economics of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, also believes: "A significant part of our problems is due to unnecessary comparisons of our country with other countries that have nothing in common with us."

He pointed out that 80% of imports in the context of recent currency restrictions were related to intermediate and capital goods, he said: "Unfortunately, the same intermediate and capital goods have not reached the producer well."

He added: "Parliament and the government enact laws and regulations with the approach and attitude of wrist to prevent fraud and violations, unaware that this will lead to the production of new laws and neutralizing other laws." Unfortunately, the criteria for selecting managers and ministers are not appropriate.

Afqah believes that rent is necessary and inevitable to fill regional and inter-ethnic inequalities in developing countries, but the abuse of rent is always a problem.

He said: "The import ban will help production when we have spent our efforts inside the production boom, but with these administrative, executive and legislative structures, instead of helping production, we put the producer in difficulty and pressure. As a result, it is natural for capital to move to unproductive sectors.

In any case, along with the constant problems in the domestic economy, one of the challenges facing production in the year of production, support and dismantling, is to create coordination between imports and meet the needs of the country from within, so that while removing obstacles to artisans, Do not provide the necessary machinery and raw materials for import. Achieving this requires coordinating the components involved.
