Blockchain Technology Can Improve Growth

Blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies have the potential to play an important role in Iran's economy, says an official with the Iran ICT Guild Organization. 
"By investing in blockchain technology we can have access to innovation and high-tech, which can [help] replace oil and banks as the main source of income," Ali Pakbakhtegan was quoted as saying by ISNA. 
Using cryptos in foreign trade can and should be a key starter for employing cutting-edge technology, he said, referring to the latest decision by the Central Bank of Iran and Iran Trade Promotion Organization regarding legalizing use of cryptos in foreign trade.
