EghtesadOnline: The unique conditions of Iranian economy, especially its low amount of foreign debt, help attract foreign investments, a deputy economy minister said.

EghtesadOnline: What Iran has done so far to conform to international standards concerning anti-money-laundering and combating terrorism financing initiatives will be sufficient for the Financial Action Task Force to permanently terminate all countermeasures against the country, said a deputy economy minister.

EghtesadOnline: Despite restrictions imposed by sanctions, some of which having outlived the 2015 nuclear accord, the administration of President Hassan Rouhani managed to significantly close the technological gap between the Iranian and global banking systems by focusing on innovative products in the field, a deputy economy minister said.
