Investment opportunities in Iran outlined for Iraqi businesspersons
TEHRAN, Dec. 13 (MNA) – The secretary general of Iran’s Central Cooperative Chamber in a meeting with members of Iraq's Kurdistan chamber of commerce highlighted investment opportunities in Iran.
Hossein Rahmaninia pointed to Iran’s privatization policy and said establishing commercial centers in Iran would be a good way to institutionalize the Islamic Republic's presence in Iraqi markets.
He added that the trade level between Iran and Iraq is not in proportion to the capacities, advantages, and abundant commonalities of the two countries.
Rahmaninia stated that Iran-Iraq trade volume should reach a minimum $20 billion in the next few years.
To that end, Iranian technical and engineering services units should participate more actively in Iraq’s construction projects, especially in Kurdistan, and establish trade centers in a bid to have closer and quicker transactions.
He underscored cooperatives’ role in Iran and explained that the government supports foreign investments in this regard.
The managing board of Iraqi Kurdistan chamber of commerce expressed concern over a decreasing participation of Iranian businesses in Sulaimaniya and noted that self-seeking opportunists had exported poor quality goods in the name of Iran to that region.
According to the managing board of Iraqi Kurdistan chamber of commerce, Iranian products and services have good quality, reasonable prices, variety and a competitive edge compared to the products from other countries.
