During the 18th Iranplast International Exhibition, Nekouei
highlighted NPC's new initiatives in investment management, starting last year.
He noted the launch of the G4B platform, aimed at simplifying the investment
process for petrochemical investors by offering registration and cost-saving
features. Additionally, a renewal system has been prioritized this year,
allowing investors to more easily renew their permits.
Nekouei emphasized the success of the first financing conference held
last year, which led to fruitful discussions with financial experts, banks, and
the Central Bank of Iran (CBI). Following these discussions, a financial clinic
was established to address industry challenges and provide tailored financing
solutions.
For this year’s conference, scheduled for November, NPC aims to build
on the previous year's experience while incorporating feedback from industry
experts. Nekouei also announced that the CBI has agreed to allocate $2 billion
in Islamic financial bonds (Murabaha bonds) to the petrochemical sector,
alongside $100 million in loans for projects nearing completion this year and
next.
Furthermore, the National Development Fund of Iran (NDFI) committed to
providing €5 billion for well-performing projects. NPC also received positive
feedback from Russian and Saudi investors after translating investment
brochures into multiple languages, signaling strong foreign interest in Iran’s
petrochemical sector.
