ICCIMA Member: Economy Needs Resilience, Not Self-Sufficiency

What strengthens the economy is resilience rather than self-sufficiency, as resilience is the outcome of striking a balance between inclusiveness and extroversion. 
The statement was made by Hossein Selahvarzi, the deputy head of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, in a write-up for the chamber’s news portal. The translation of the full text follows:  
President-elect Ebrahim Raeisi will have to grapple with economic issues more than anything else during the next four years. One of the main issues of Iran’s economy over the past decades has been the fact that the private sector and the government have contrasting opinions about the principles of economics.
