The Iranian capital of Tehran has attracted some $6 billion in foreign investments in less than six years (since March 2015), said a provincial official.

Speaking to IRNA, Fereydoon Ataei added the amount has been invested in 192 different manufacturing, industrial and science-based projects.

Tehran Province’s officials had plans to attract some $953 million in investments in the current Iranian calendar year (which will end on March 20, 2021), Ataei said, noting that, however, a small amount of the money has been collected during March 20-December 20, 2020.

He added local officials seek to achieve the investment target by March 20, 2020.
