Domestic Investment in Iran’s Free Zones Rises 80% in 4 Months

Domestic investment approved in Iran’s free trade zones surged 80% in the first four months of the current Iranian year (March 20 – July 22), reaching IRR 2,095 trillion (US$2.25 billion), according to the Free and Special Economic Zones High Council.

The council reported that the figure surpassed the period’s target by more than 80%, reflecting stronger domestic capital inflows into the zones.

In the same period last year, approved domestic investment stood at IRR 2,185 trillion (US$2.34 billion), showing continued momentum in attracting local capital and underlining the zones’ role in supporting Iran’s economic development, the report said. - Tehran Times
