Iran's annual non-oil exports to neighbors hit $25b: Lawmaker

An Iranian lawmaker praised prioritizing the neighbors policy by President Seyyed Ebrahim Raeisi's administration which led to increasing non-oil exports to the neighboring countries to $25 billion last Iranian year (March 2021-March 2022).

In an interview with IRNA on Friday, Chair of Parliament’s Industry and Mining Committee Mostafa Taheri said that the Raeisi administration has done important jobs economically in almost a year into office.

During the short period, several presidents have paid visits to Tehran, signing MoUs with President Raeisi on various economic, trade, transportation, railroad and cultural issues, according to Taheri.

Iran had over $48.5 billion of non-oil exports last Iranian year, the lawmaker said.

He also noted that Iran could increase exports to Turkey by 100 percent and exports to Russia have witnessed a 30 to 40 percent growth since Raeisi took office.
