In this report, our objective is to draw a simplified image of Iran’s true business environment, competition landscape, and economic potentials. We will look at the country’s current market conditions and entry barriers, and explain how foreign investors can increase their chance of establishing successful businesses in the country by developing a comprehensive strategic plan.
Iran has the potential of becoming one of the hottest investment destinations in the next 20 years. This will greatly depend on whether the anticipated lifting of sanctions in 2016 leads to a political process that strengthens ties between Iran and the west. Nevertheless, for the next 5 to 10 years, the country’s complex and outdated business environment will remain a major challenge for foreign investors to establish and sustain business operations in Iran.
