Mehdi Karbasian Chief Executive of Iranian Mines and Mining
Industries Development and Renovation Organi-zation (IMIDRO) said, “by
commissioning current projects in the mining and mineral sector, the country
will witness the promotion of Iran’s global ranking in the production of mines
and mineral.”
According to a report released by the Public Relations
Department of IMIDRO, Iran’s mining and mineral sector will be promoted in the
international level.
Speaking in 5th Conference of Productivity of Iranian Mines
and Mining, held at Jaber ibn Hayyan Amphitheater of Tarbiat Modaress
University, the IMIDRO chief put Iran’s current mining and mineral rank at 15
among world countries and said, “commissioning current mining and mineral
projects will promote the current status of the country in the relevant field.”
He pointed to the productivity-free management issue and
said, “over the past years, meritocracy has not been materialized and the said
issue has been raised in the form of lip service.”
Oil-driven economy has always been overshadowed the
decision-making processes and is a barrier ahead of productivity growth rate.
Turning to this point that Iran lags behind the world in
terms of technology, he said, “China managed to revive its economy with foreign
capital and knowledge. Here, entrance of foreign investment or FDI plays an
important role in materializing most economic objectives of the countries.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, the IMIDRO chief put
the productivity share in economic sector at about six percent while the
country’s share on nonoil exports stands at about one-fourth i.e. 25 percent.
