On the Brink
It seems that
over-investment pushes the region’s petrochemical industry to the brink of
crises like futile commercial rivalry. Further expansion of regional cooperation
appears to be a useful remedy to stand up to the potential risks of these
phenomena. |

More Liberal
Legal formalities for making
investments in Iran will be decreased through deregulation and economic
liberalization which are on the government’s agenda. |

Bright Classmates
There is no doubt on
the expertise available in the Iranian petrochemical industry. When I went to
college in Germany in mid 1960s, some of my bright classmates were Iranians. |

Sound Investment
Every investment in Iran is sound if
it is guaranteed. |

$7.5 Billion
The Third Development
Plan defines certain tasks for growth in the oil, gas and petrochemical sector.
To absorb $7.5 billion of investment in five years, the Iranian petrochemical
industry is properly getting engaged in international partnership. |

Lifting Borders
Today, capital repatriation knows
no geographical borders since overseas investment has become a usual practice. |

Narrow and Wide
Competition is here
to stay. If you are producing a narrow range of products, your marketing area
must be wide and if you are producing a wide range of products, your marketing
area may be narrow. |

So Far, So Good
I was last in Iran ten years ago.
Being back here again, I found the people very friendly and very helpful to get
on with. So far, my visit has been very good. |
