After the lifting of the nuclear sanctions (2016), Iran's economy laid in growth path. Oil exports increased. Foreign investors started returning to Iran. The exchange rate fluctuations declined and the inflation rate fell sharply. In sum, Iran's economy experienced a positive growth. With regard to the investment growth (domestic and foreign), the increase in foreign trade and the improvement of Iran's political relations with the rest of the world, we expect that the future outlook of the country to be improved. Even some international entities (such as the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund) have approved the proper outlook of Iran's economy.

Undoubtedly, the existence of a high quality human capital, sufficient foreign investment and the access to cheap energy sources will make Iran as one of the most powerful countries in the region.
