Holding officials accountable, focusing on succession planning, forming a team of professional consultants and providing solutions based on expert studies are among the priorities of the new representatives of Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture.
Mohammad Reza Safa, the head of Bandar Abbas Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, prefaced his write-up for the Persian daily Donya-e-Eqtesad with this note. A translation of the text follows:
The private sector has gained a better place in Iran’s economy than in the past, but its stance is still far from optimal. In addition to maintaining a sense of accountability and vocalizing the challenges and problems, practical and expert solutions should also be provided by economic players to the government. Concerns about Iran’s economy are being voiced louder by the day and need to be addressed. As economic players have the hands-on experience of these challenges, they are capable of providing practical solutions.
