Almost 80 percent of the industrial units in Iran are closed or semi-closed, Mehdi Pourghazi, head of the industrial committee of the Tehran Chamber of Commerce said. Some 30 percent of the industrial units in the country are closed, Pourghazi said, Iranian semi-official Tasnim news agency reported Dec. 16. Meanwhile about 50 percent of industrial units work at half-capacity, he said, adding the statistics are alarming.
The Iranian government unveiled its economic policy package in late October, in a bid to stimulate growth in the stagnant economy through higher investment in production and encouraging consumer spending. The measures are envisaged for a duration of six months in the run-up to the removal of international sanctions against Iran. The sanctions are to be lifted in the coming months, following Iran’s landmark agreement on its nuclear program, which was reached in July. | |
