ADVOCACY THE CENTRAL BANK OF THE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF IRAN Iran is embracing international financial standards to promote economic cooperation and attract foreign investment Iran: the land of promises With thousands of years of history, Iran, previously known as Persia, is one of the main cradles of civilisation. Since its emergence in circa 10th to 8th millennium BC, this land has always been the leading cultural and political entity in the region. Not only did Iran develop into a prosperous empire, but it also contributed significantly to the progress of the whole world. The name of Iran reminds the world of Cyrus the Great acknowledged pioneer of human rights; Avicenna in medicine and philosophy; Omar Khayyam in poetry; Al-Biruni in mathematics and astrology; Ferdowsi for his epic masterpiece Shahnameh; and in recent years, film directors as well as many other leading stars in sports, science and art. People Iran takes pride in its young, vibrant highly educated population as its main capital. For instance, the literacy rate for the 15-24 year age group is 98 per
ADVOCACY cent. About 4.8 million students attend universities providing a potential source of highly skilled work force. Talented Iranians have consistently shone in the international arena in science, sports, art, literature, medicine, music, cinema and the like. The first human rights charter appeared on the Cyrus Cylinder in the Persian Empire about 25 centuries ago. Later, Iranian scientists contributed to the progress of global science and their masterpieces in mathematics, medicine and astronomy have widely been explored in academic circles. Diversity Iran is the land of diversity. Millions of people from various ethnicities and religions join hands to lead a life full of peace and passion. Fars, Turk, Lor, Azeri, Balooch, Arab and other ethnicities follow Islam, Christianity, Judaism and Zoroastrianism in an environment of brotherhood, making Iran the safest and most secure country amidst all the turbulences of the Middle East. Natural Resources Iran’s proven natural resources place her on the top of the rankings among other nations. Her natural gas reserves are the largest worldwide, estimated at 1,200 trillion cubic feet. Iran has the potential capacity to provide Europe with gas for more than 90 years. Besides, with proven reserves of at least 158 billion barrels, Iran possesses the world’s fourth largest crude oil reserves. The favourable nature of reserves makes extraction less onerous and pushes down production costs to very low levels. This is not the whole story however. Despite being known primarily as a key hydrocarbon producer, Iran is bestowed with 68 types of minerals and metals and has the potential to generate revenues from its mines even more than it does from fossil fuels. Industrial minerals, non-ferrous metals as well as iron and ferroalloy metals constitute a massive potential source of revenue once the necessary investments are made by the government or the private sector. Climate Observing beautiful snow covered mountains, enjoying the freshness of mild weather and swimming in warm waters all on a single visit to a country may seem far beyond imagination. However, dreams turn to reality in Iran where four seasons are present throughout the year. This is the land of diversified climate which ranges from arid or semiarid, and from subtropical to humid and rain forests. To the west, the Zagros Mountains experience severe winters with below zero average daily temperatures and heavy snowfall. The eastern and central basins are arid while the coastal plains of the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman in southern Iran have mild winters and humid and hot summers. Geopolitics Iran is located at the heart of a geopolitically The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBIRI) regulates and supervises the banking system Central Bank of the I.R. of Iran Mirdamad Blvd. NO.198 Tehran Islamic Republic of Iran G.SecDept@cbi.ir www.cbi.ir important region. It connects south to north from the Persian Gulf to the states of the Middle Asia and provides a corridor from west to east. The well-known Silk Road continues to signify the importance of Iran in the distribution of goods and services in the region. Iran benefits from developed infrastructure including roads, railways and airports which have the potential to expand further and provide the exporters with efficient access to lucrative markets. Iran remains the land of promises. Industry With its vast potential, Iran is an attractive target for businesses. Abundant natural resources, welleducated labour force and established infrastructures contribute to Iran’s diversified economy. Although the industry is best known for its share of oil and gas, it is not dependent on them like other oil exporting countries. Sectors such as manufacturing, mining, construction, tourism, agriculture and finance have notable shares in domestic economy. For example, the Iranian car producers are the biggest in the Middle East and its banks the largest in the Islamic world. The Iranian industries contain unique opportunities both in manufacturing and in services. International Reintegration Recently Iran has become a priority destination for delegations from all over the world with interest in banking, oil and gas, aviation, tourism, automotive and infrastructure sectors. Implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) is expected to greatly reshape the economy. JCPOA is an agreement to address mutual concerns regarding Iran’s nuclear plan. It is a landmark in politics. It also provides a significant opportunity for economic cooperation encouraging higher international trade and investment. Traditionally, Iran supplies the global market with oil and imports machinery to accommodate domestic production. With Iran fully reintegrated in the international market, the oil price has become more competitive benefiting oil importing countries. Meanwhile international companies can invest in or set up new businesses in Iran and benefit from partnership with local partners. Banking and Finance Iran has a long history of banking with some banks established more than 85 years ago and the vast majority of Iranians maintain bank accounts. Internet and electronic banking is common. The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran (CBIRI) regulates and supervises the banking system which is composed of long established publicly owned and recently formed dynamic private banks. Iran’s Anti-Money Laundering legislation goes back to 2008 and its Counter Financing of Terrorism laws were enacted in 2016. It has always known its customers thoroughly and never allowed anonymous accounts. Iran is open to foreign investment in all sectors including banking.
