3- 4- Economic
Investment has consistently been a key topic in discussions about economic development and is a critical consideration in formulating development strategies and policies. Theoretically, capital infusion into the economy is considered one of the most crucial factors driving economic growth and development.
The decline in domestic investment and the outflow of capital from Iran indicate that, despite having a significant potential of around $100 billion, the country’s economy has struggled to use its domestic financial resources to enhance production effectively.
