President of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines, and Agriculture (ICCIMA) Hossein Selahvarzi has said that given its natural resources and workforce, Iran should not have less than a 0.5% share of the world economy.
Selahvarzi made the remarks addressing a ceremony in Tehran on Monday to mark Iran’s National Quality Day.
In order to have a more active presence in the world economy, the country has no way except for making serious efforts to promote the quality of the competitive production, he noted.
Underlining the significance of quality, Selahvarzi said that 67% of the world added value is related to OECD countries, 9% to China, 11% to newly-developed countries and the rest 12% going to the other world countries.
He added that competitive production is not the issue of today but it is the issue of the next 10 years and depends on the promotion of quality.
Selahvarzi noted that quality is not an overnight achievement and is rather a continued process that is achieved both individually and in the industries and businesses.
