Gholamhossein Shafie said at the National Export Day ceremony: Since previous years, one of the main challenges that the Iranian economy has faced has always been the multiplicity of decision-making bodies active in various fields of export. 'economy.
Therefore, one-stop management can prevent serious damage to Iran's economy in this area.
He said that 44 institutions in Iran are directly and indirectly involved in trade and pointed out: Examining the situation of countries that have been successful in foreign trade shows that the more we move towards unitary decision-making, the more chances of success in trading are high. , hence the clear demand. The private sector is in the process of forming a foreign trade council to overcome these problems.
The head of the Iranian Chamber of Commerce said that we need a long-term plan in the field of exports and foreign policy, and said: Today, in the world, the volume of non-oil exports and how they are combined are very important in measuring economic and political power.
Another of our issues is the limited role of the Iranian economy in the global supply chain, which should be given special attention in upstream programs.
Shafi'i continued: In development plans, as an upstream document, the macro view of exports can be specified.
A look at the country's main export items shows that petrochemicals and gas condensates account for nearly half of our exports. On the other hand, approximately 75% of our exports are made to just five destinations.
Highlighting low value-added or high-tech goods in Iran's export basket, he stressed: increasing exports requires increasing the production of high-quality goods.
Planning for long-term cooperation with neighbors and taking political and economic developments into account play an important role in this.
In a situation where the economic power of the world is expected to change in the coming years, compensating for the economic backwardness in the 7th development plan can bring the Iranian economy to its real position.
