'Iran economy no longer oil-based'

[PERSIAN GOD KING]

Iranian industry, mine and trade minister insists that the country’s economy is not oil-based, contrary to the conception of those that have imposed anti-Iran sanctions.

Addressing an open session of the Majlis on Tuesday on the performance of his ministry, Iran’s Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mehdi Ghazanfari said, “Contrary to the belief of those that have adopted sanction measures [against us], Iran’s economy is [no longer] oil-based”.
Pointing to the extensive responsibilities of his ministry, he added that it handles nearly 40 percent of the nation’s economy.
Ghazanfari underlined that 21 percent of the Gross Domestic Product takes place in the industry and mines and another 18 percent is conducted through trade and services.
According to the minister, Iran’s non-oil exports stood at USD eight billion in 2004 while the figure reached to over USD 50 billion in 2010.
Iranian industry, mine and trade minister went on to say that the sanctions imposed on the Iranian oil are to generate an economic shock, emphasizing that “The nation’s economy is no longer dependent on oil.”
Ghazanfari also stated that from 2004 to 2010, Iran had exported over USD 192 billion worth of goods as well as engineering and technical services, mostly by the private sector.

Its imperative for the long term stability of Irans economy to diversify in this manner. This is great to see and i hope Iran continues to shine through all the adversity that this nation is constantly put through - Iran must be commended for this!

Actually, Pakistan is the largest exporter of hand made carpets. In many of our types, Persian is also made. If Iran was not sanctioned, then there would have been a different story.

What they (Iranians) export or import things in detail doesn't matter. For an unaware person like you should worry about at the end of the day is the economic growth, which here in present situation is quite good.
