Hojjat A... Abdul Maliki, Advisor to the President and Secretary of the Supreme Council for Free and Special Economic Zones, said that according to the basic theory, free zones are international in nature and facilitate trade.
In fact, if we want to get into the precise definition of free zones, it must be said that these free zones are a space for better commercial interaction for countries.
He added: There is no need to obtain a visa to enter Iranian free zones to conduct better international interactions.
Abdul Maliki highlighted: One of the measures taken by the 13th government was the licensing of the offshore bank, which carries out international transactions and is now operational.
All transactions of this bank will be made in foreign currencies. According to the secretary of the Supreme Council of Free and Special Economic Zones, the agreement in principle of the International Stock Exchange was also concluded, which is in the process of regrouping the shareholding and will become the fifth stock exchange in the country. On the other hand, the basic combination of offshore insurance has also been issued and its function is also international.
Stating that 6 missions are defined in the laws of free zones, 4 of which are international missions, he said: In addition to the investment paradise, we presented the free and special economic zones to the national economic team of Iran . Therefore, in order to present Iranian projects, we have attended most of the world events and various countries have also announced their willingness to invest in free zones.
Abdul Maleki said: “We have had a colorful presence in Chinese exhibitions and for this reason, this country presented Iran as honorary host of the largest exhibition organized in this country.
We have organized an investment conference in India, the results of which will be known in the coming months.
