Iran is in dire need of investment to boost domestic production, Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said.
“The most important measure we should take is to facilitate the flow of investment in the oil sector. A country like Iran that requires investment should not put itself in a position in which capital flight happens,” Zanganeh was quoted as saying by ISNA on Monday in the parliament’s special commission for propping up domestic production.
