Traditionally, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei uses his Nowruz speech to produce a slogan for the upcoming year. In his March 20 speech he presented the following objective for the new Iranian year: “Support production and remove barriers to domestic production.”
In line with this objective, the Ministry of Industry, Mining and Trade conducted a survey of industrialists to identify the existing challenges for Iranian manufacturing companies. As Iran works to boost production, a close look at the actual impediments involved can offer insight on what needs to be addressed to pave the way for the domestic industry to flourish.
