A senior Iranian MP, the deputy head of the Majlis Economic Commission emphasised that Iran will do all that it can to assist, reassure and motivate foreign investors, as well as wealthy Iranians living abroad, who wish to invest in Iran.

Iran Press/Iran news: In an exclusive interview with Iran Press on Sunday, Ahmad Anaraki-Mohammadi emphasized that as part of the sixth [five-year] development plan, it had been envisaged that up to fifty billion dollars of foreign investments would be absorbed into Iran's economy, but because of various difficulties, including US-imposed sanctions on Iran, this target was not achieved.   

The senior MP added: "Foreign investors must be assisted and encouraged in order to invest more in the country. They can obtain a permanent residency permit, if they invest between 200000 to 250000 dollars, or more, in Iran."

Commenting further the Deputy Head of the Majlis Economic Commission said: "By people's resistance, fortunately, the foreign and internal market, economical trade fluctuations and foreign exchange difficulties are being sorted out and the situation is getting better."

Ahmad Anaraki-Mohammadi added: "As the Leader of the Islamic revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has stressed, by collaboration and cooperation of the three branches of the government we are hopeful to improve foreign investments in Iran."
