The Need to Attract Foreign Investment to Drive Export Growth
The International Affairs Advisor to the Trade Promotion Organization of Iran announced a 3.3-fold increase in trade with Eurasia during the 5.5-year implementation of the trade agreement with the Eurasian Economic Union (from October 27, 2019 to May 15, 2025). He emphasized that foreign investment has played a significant role in the export performance of countries such as China and Vietnam, noting that in some years, foreign-invested exports accounted for nearly half of China’s total exports, while in Vietnam more than 70 percent of exports have been generated through foreign investment.
