a stronghold, this is also you, and there is hope for you, we pray for you, in the eyes of a martyr, in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful. hello, this program is the front page of the program that every night at the same time, we have guests from the front page, those who must be accountable in the country , the program will continue for 54 minutes, the topic of our program tonight is the free zones, the free zones. your mind is usually from the free zone only, for example, the zone

alanya, kish island comes to my mind, qeshm island, but the number of free zones is more than these, there are also special economic zones, and much more of them are under the free zones council, as the secretary of mr. dr. abdul maliki, who is a guest of our program tonight, you are very welcome, in the name of god al-rahim, thank you for this very good introduction that you said. hello, i offer my greetings to all my dear compatriots. i offer my congratulations on the arrival of the month of rajab and the preceding holidays and the decade of fajr of the birth of the amir al-mu'minin , peace be upon him. is it enough, doctor, that there are so many free zones? you have just arrived . in this program and to the department answer a lot of these ambiguous questions. i want to give a very, very short overview of what are the ambiguities about free zones. about free zones, it is said that they are localized for or

become a gateway for imports into the country, while they were supposed to be a gateway for exports. free zones are said to be a place for tax evasion, both free zones and special economic zones , and of course much more than these, but most of it is about the fact that free zones have brought economic benefits to the country, so i will not enter because you know more about explain the problem or regarding the fact that they are a gate for smuggling goods into the country, i want to make a decision in this name. a few days ago, we had a resolution in the government committee that was about free zones

. let's ask you to tell us and the people about this resolution. now , how many of these problems are you going to answer and do ? we discussed this issue in the previous program . which was approved in recent years, now there are 15 free zones we have almost all our borders with different countries. if we want to start, chabahar, qeshm, kish, arvand, mehran, qasr shirin, lady mary moko, ardabil, anzali, and finally enche barun and the free and special economic zone of the port of

imam khomeini airport, may god have mercy on him. these 15 freedom zones that we have now practically provided us with the possibility of maximum diplomatic and economic interaction with neighboring countries and distant countries . it is a very high capacity that is also considered in the resistance economy in the 11th paragraph of the general resistance economy that was established in 1992. the supreme leader of the revolution announced they said that hereafter, the development of the field of operation of free zones in football, attracting foreign capital, increasing exports, increasing production and transfer of technology, and of course meeting the needs of the country. the freedom we have is actually 15 members of the national team of the islamic republic of international economy, who performed

well, they were not perfect, but their performance was positive , and in recent years, especially in this past year, very big events have happened in the free zones of our country, and this issue that to areas and portals the import and export and trade balance of our free zone became positive last year. for the first time, the amount of export from these areas exceeded the amount of import from september 1400 to september 1401. this was a positive event in the field of foreign investment and technology transfer. very important events are happening that i will mention. excuse me , how did this positive balance happen and the amount of exports increased

? we separate, for example, around 3 billion dollars per year, basic goods and all kinds of goods enter the mainland from free zones, these are actually not imports from free zones and are used for the country, for example, suppose that the goods from chabahar port, anzali port, are related to the country, and from free zones , if they are not imported from the port shahid rajaei, another port will enter, we don't know about the import of the free zone, the import is what is actually used after this zone, and the export is the one that is produced in the region, in this sense, the amount of the export in these free zones, these 8 old free zones of ours is this the new week of doing in shorts are launching even now, the amount of export from the products that happened in these areas has not happened yet. in this one year, the beginning of this popular government , the amount of import in the affected areas is the 13th

. this is the first time that this is happening and this is happening quickly. the trade of the regions increases, which i mentioned that the productions of the free zones , for example , at the top of the list, you can say what they were. and a variety of products it is produced in other regions. we have about 1900 production units that are located in these regions. they mainly carry out activities at the international level . they produce quality products . considerable investments are made . the level of technology is higher than the average of the country.

to a large extent, these are export-oriented, of course, one of the shortcomings that we had and the weakness in international marketing, which we do not have, will be solved through the new institutions that we have if we spend more ability and focus more on international marketing. the same units the current production can export much more than this, when it started with the program of establishing new units and attracting foreign investment to a very new program this winter, but this recent resolution that happened in the government, which is actually very it's hot. 311 was approved and notified a week ago. alhamdulillah, it was approved by the cabinet. this resolution is really a turning point in the recent period of free and special zones, because

i have seen a very wonderful picture in the field of operation of free zones. let's make this resolution difficult dr. mohammad and his colleagues, who are really worthy of praise, worked hard to get the economy minister, the economic headquarters of the government at that time , i was only an advisor to the president in the economic headquarters of the government, and of course i defended this resolution, but alhamdulillah in the last one or two weeks , the resolution was approved by the council of ministers and announced for implementation. the reason for this is dehbandi. read full and many openings specially, in this decree, it happened for free and special economic zones, which

, by god's grace , can strengthen the map of the regions in the faster development of the country's economy. the issues are very rich. the first approach is the issue of nuclear clarification of the areas, which is sometimes raised in connection with smuggling or tax evasion and currency issues . here is a new clarification that will close the holes that were not helpful and really free these areas from this. the issue of corruption is the second issue helping two issues is the internationalization of free and special economic zones , which is explained by ms. and the third issue is the issue of facilitating the processes related to business, production, export and import in the field of banking, customs and production, which i mention some of this in

paragraph one of this it has been said that the import of all goods from abroad to the free and special economic zones took place only after statistics in the framework of the comprehensive trade system based on the determination of the origin of the currency of the central bank, and in the past there were two problems in importing one, which is good. with serious restrictions on imports since 2017, currency issues it became more serious, but it is said that this import of cars is happening freely, it is consuming and this is the same currency that i collect from the bottom of the market. to import from the country, for example, to import machines and equipment that are needed for the country's economy and help the country's

production. in islam , trade is done according to the system, this discussion is recorded according to the abandoned resolution, statistical registration happens when the positive statistics really disturb the restrictions related to order registration, this is actually getting involved with the category of order registration . in fact, there is uncertainty about what goods have been imported and how much has been imported . it is not in favor of the mining industry, but it is installed as a custodian.

we should really thank them for their help in fact, the purchase of foreign currency from the banking system or the export of these merchants or others , or they have foreign currency accounts abroad, or foreign currency accounts that others have abroad, or clearing means which currency can be determined. imports can actually take place without restrictions. it is interesting that there is a whole range in we have this servant who is the issue of cars, which is still being mentioned, if necessary, it was necessary to propose within the framework of the law and present that in the coming days a joint meeting of the ministry of mining industry and the need to import cars will actually go to the parliament on the issue of the import of passenger cars . trucks are not enough, they are industrial machines

there are others and public cars. in fact, we and the ministry were obliged to sit down and investigate it and import the necessary amount and get a license. inshallah , they are in demand from women, so they can benefit from the possibility of importing cars . you said that because they are exempted from registering orders, trade in free zones will lead to an increase in imports, which happens naturally, the issue of value is very close to the limits of foreign exchange, but many of you say that we are willing to export more in exchange for imports. badim import which is for production of raw materials and these will no longer have the bureaucratic difficulties related to order registration, and there will be no ninja restrictions in reality. therefore, this import of hair will help to strengthen production and the prosperity of production in the

uae. based on the general approvals of the government, we are talking about the travel of goods that retailers bring and sell in free zones. most of them attract tourists and tourists to buy. in fact, this has happened in the past. this is actually a new thing that is happening . aid to imports is especially for economic prosperity in special regions, we actually need them, and whatever comes in and does not spend new money in the country, so to speak, these are valuable in the eyes of the specifications, mainly due to the balance or increase in exports of those who operate in the region or have foreign accounts. currency like an iranian activist outside your country, and one of them is good news in a way to give to the economy abroad for

iranians abroad for a long time. in fact , we have difficulties in importing their money to iran to invest in any other work, banking until these resources. let's enter with this resolution that it is good the burhanuddins have an account abroad, i was also told that the necessary infrastructure to treat the sneeze of this process in the central bank is obliged to help us create these by stating the financial resources they have abroad, they can by importing goods that are the needs of the country are the needs of the regions, i will convert this value into goods and import them, and i will be exempted from the sanctions to a large extent, and the sanctions will be lifted. these are in the form of equipment and raw materials for agriculture . ninja training is converted into rial and carry out these goods for investment and trade and

other economic activities. first of all, the facilitator is in some way a matter of trade. it is really for the regions and economic activists. i know that now i am going to look. in this connection with trade, i would like to make a reference to the issue of export, dear friends . now, here we mean export and it has two types. in fact, we have an export to the mainland, an export to other countries. it has a trade balance, that is, the export of free zones is more than imported in you with sadat is from outside the country, which means that the import from abroad has been less in the past year and compared to the export of nimrat abroad, but we have one issue, the raw materials from abroad enter the free zones, are processed and produced . and then he enters the mainland to sell

the good that he has worked and that is free, and foreign or domestic investments, processing of employment in the region will be created , added value will happen. a very step with removed and that in the past for importing goods processed and produced in the free zone to the main land required approval from the ministry of mining industry and trade, which alhamdulillah was removed based on paragraph 5 of this approval, meaning that the birth certificate issued by the free zone organization will be sufficient . in order for this product, which is actually produced by the activities

of the free zones, to enter the mainland, this stage has been and sometimes has been kept for many days in the property of the brother behind the customs, and this has caused the dream of talking about the business environment. there are simple things that seriously disrupt the business environment of the country and actually suffered new downfalls for the activists. one step that has been removed means that now only the production of the free zone is enough to import the goods produced in the free zone to the mainland . that the discussion of investment in free zones was brought forward with an intermediate program, you can see the words in this regard from the report, what the law on how to administer industrial free trade zones says, construction and development , economic growth and development, export development, entering

global markets, increasing production, the impact of capital inflows foreign is one of the goals that the special economic zones organization of the country pursues. it should be done differently. the ratio of the free zone to the region is a serious economic center for the country. the study of the free zones in the world shows that the goal of the governments in creating these zones is the development of investment in based on the statistics, the average annual domestic investment was about 50 thousand billion rials , although it is not clear which of the commercial, infrastructure or industrial sectors this investment was made in, as well as the amount of foreign investment made in the free zones of iran from 1 57 to 200 million dollars, free zones in the country have a quota of less than 10% in attracting foreign capital

, but the experience of other countries shows that in china and malaysia, more than 30% and 72% of investments are made in free zones, respectively. zahra shafiei news agency the foreign investment package is one of the things that have been talked about a lot, that the free zones should be a channel for investors to enter. what you said with this new thing in the new decree that can be done by simply determining the origin of the currency, and this it can help those who have money abroad and are in need currently, it is not possible to bring troops, this way you can enter the country, by the way, it can help a lot. the amount of foreign investment in free zones

is obviously one of the goals of these zones, foreign presence, and because of this, we were not successful in the production of 30 years that free zones forming as it should be, foreign capital did not happen, 10% foreign investment in turkey was held, now it happened to you, but we are not satisfied, why should it be closed, and we compare it with other countries in this article, 330% by 140%, which in our report some countries their free zones are very similar to our special economic zones and free and special economic zones . if we add up the amount of foreign investment that happened in this, i don't have exact statistics now, but i think more than 50% of the total foreign investment

that happened in the country. it happened because imam ali's special zones have 35 active special economic zones. the export value of these 35 special economic zones is about 17 billion dollars. hassan, almost one third of the total export of our country comes from all 35 special economic zones. where to create a joint free zone i went to the free zone of turkey in the istanbul region and i saw with our officials that they had actually been freed in the zone and we went and played the kind of free zones in the world that are defined as our special zone and if we wanted to do something simple, like attracting foreign capital, transferring anything. compare with other countries, the special zone should be freed, but again , i believe that with that expert's point of view, minus the responsibility that they have, the performance of our free zones in attracting

foreign capital was not favorable, and in general, we are among the countries that produce in the country we are very economical and the countries of turkey and countries neighboring countries are actually far away, the production cost of that country and its nation is very high , and energy is a very, very cheap energy. the element of energy in hazrat abbasm has become extremely important . in fact, we have a lot of natural resources . we have a very good climate in the south of the country. we have in chabahar or, for example, qeshm in arbain, which are more about the production aspect , which have excellent access to open waters. all facilities for profitable and low-cost production are available in the open areas. in the north of the country and elsewhere

, foreign investment is rare for two reasons. it has to be let's fix it, the first reason is the excessive bureaucracies and regulations, which unfortunately take both the hands and feet of the investor inside the package. what does the investment of this country do when you provide a condition that domestic capital dances, foreign investment, why should i do this? unlike many advanced countries, turkey directs the capital to production and investment and creates lower effective production. abroad in other countries, iran is entering into production, we are creating a very big event in de-zoning and simplifying the business process and administrative bureaucracy, and god willing, in this field, this government decree will also

help us in this direction. the issue of export, import, foreign exchange and banking affairs of the country is interrupted and facilitated, which is also attractive for domestic economic activity , so the first reason for the lack of foreign investment in the free market is the bureaucracy and the unfavorable economic environment that we have, which is the business environment. by islamic, we mean the second reason of being unknown and the demand is temperature, hands and feet, not despite the fact that we have very large amounts of capital in the form of how to actually get the director, perhaps wandering that we say a term that has been formed in recent years in the international economy with the title of diplomat in the production and process that the volumes of capital in one of the poles of their gathering, he observes the whole of east asia, follows where they can go and earn a profit there

. well, i'm going here . i'm going there. our free zones, the international free zone does not have the necessary identity to make it interesting, i want to name a few free zones around us. i don't know the names of many iranian economic apparatuses, but many officials of our country do not know the names of all the parts of the islamic republic, they know their numbers. i am sure that we have a large number of economic officials who really i don't know how the second plan we have is to discuss the rebranding of the free zones of the country in the international arena. we designed a program during the muslim period

when i started my work with the approach of globalizing the free zones of the islamic republic, whether to attract tourists to create events with the common people. we hit it is expected that in the near future, with this considerable amount of tourists from iraq, especially by whom , and the rest will be dedicated to the design. what has happened to attract foreign investors ? sahin kurdistan sanction is the initial expectation of many of us that when we say that we have an obstacle for foreign investment in iran , it will be first with sanctions .

in the period after the islamic revolution, a movement in the world it has started that they oppose me, whose pain endangers america, with the principle of the islamic revolution, all kinds of wars and financing institutions, a military war , a cultural war, a political war, an economic war, a program of hybrid wars. the boycott of a part of this program has been accepted as a reality in our economy and we passed it. this is a very important point that is being discussed now about where the negotiations have reached, but in the same situation that the negotiations have not yet started, the country with more than 100 billion dollars per year actually we do trade exchange, we do export
