| Considering the advantages of foreign investment, Iran the same as other countries made a lot of efforts to attract foreign investment. Despite these efforts, the great potentials, capacities and geostrategic location, Iran in comparison with others who have week and unsuitable potentials, did not obtain any significant result and the foreign investment attraction rate in Iran is much lower than its capabilities.
Much effort and less result is the main challenge that the economic policy makers facing it and various studies has been done to diagnose this issue. On one hand, some studies concluded that Iran international political situation particularly the international sanctions imposed in recent years were the reasons that Iran efforts didn’t reach any significant results and opponents of the Iranian regime in different ways prevented the foreigners to invest in Iran. On the other hand, some believe that the local obstacles, restrictions and unnecessary official bureaucracy prevent Iran to attract foreign investments and if these obstacles remove, Iran foreign investment attraction will increase. The aforesaid studies have not considered the status of the foreign investment projects in Iran, the obstacles that they are facing with and the reasons that some of these projects not succeed.
This study deals with the impressive factors on the foreign investment attraction and also the positive and negative effects of foreign investment on the host country. It studied more than 300 foreign investment projects and the obstacles that these projects faced were verified and analyzed. |
