Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 28 / Trend F.Mehdi/
Iran has invested 1.14 billion Euros to implement 10 national projects, ISNA reported on Monday.
Iranian Finance and Economic Affairs Minister Shamseddin Hosseini officially launched the projects in the north-eastern city of Mashhad.
The ECO Development Bank and the Islamic Development Bank have participated in financing the projects, Hosseini said.
He also said that a number of projects will be implemented in the next few months jointly with neighbouring countries.
Iran is the sole country in the Middle East with a continuous upward trend in terms of foreign investment attraction, the Iranian deputy economy minister said in December 2012.
"Iran was in seventh place in this regard in 2008, but its status was improved to third in 2011," IRNA quoted Behrouz Alishiri as saying.
In the calendar year 1386 (March 2007-2008), Iran attracted some $1.8 billion in foreign investment, he said, adding that the figure was increased to $2.1 billion, $2.6 billion, $3.8 billion and $4.3 billion over the course of four years.
