Drying of a Fruitful Tree

Commerce is the quickest growing field in the economy. If favorable conditions are provided, the metaphorical tree of commerce will produce fruit sooner than other economic activities. 
That’s why any improvement in commerce is manifested in economic and social indicators as well as the well-being of people at a rate faster than in other sectors. This was stated by Masoud Khansari, president of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, in an article for the Persian daily Donya-e-Eqtesad. A translation of the text follows:
With the temporary lifting of sanctions and improvement of conditions for commerce, Iran registered a historic double-digit economic growth, a significant decline in inflation (single-digit rates for two years) and better livelihood for the people. All these happened without carrying out reforms in other economic sectors and only as a result of freedom of commerce.
