President Masoud Pezeshkian has said that Iran's government plans to intensify its engagement with the private sector to facilitate investment in production, as part of efforts to implement the country's economic agenda for the year.
Speaking on the sidelines of the first cabinet meeting of the new year on Wednesday, the president said that extensive discussions were held on investment strategies and existing challenges to ensure effective policy execution.
“The First Vice President and the government’s economic team also held a separate session to consolidate their plans, Pezeshkian said, adding that the goal is to find practical ways to implement the Supreme Leader’s directives on this year’s economic theme of ‘Investment for Production’.
The president emphasized that his administration has significantly increased its engagement with the private sector compared to previous years. “I have personally attended numerous meetings with entrepreneurs and business representatives to address their concerns. This year, we will continue to strengthen these interactions and work to eliminate obstacles hindering private sector activities,” he said.
