Rating Agencies Can Help Iranian Firms Tap Into Global Markets

Having entered a new era after the lifting of most sanctions in early 2016, Iran has aptly understood the importance of making endeavors for modernizing its financial and corporate sectors. 
One such endeavor, the lack of which has been recognized by regulators and the private sector alike, is encouraging international credit rating agencies to establish a permanent presence in Iran and help local entities compete on the regional and global scale. 
On Saturday, Capital Intelligence, a more familiar name among Iranian firms and policymakers, participated in a gathering hosted by the Center of Investment and Consultancy Services affiliated with the Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Mines and Agriculture–an entity that has been at the forefront of the business community's efforts to introduce Iran's potentials to foreigners.
