Head of the Organization for Investment, Economic and Technical Assistance of Iran, Behrouz Alishiri said in July that the volume of foreign investment in the country has witnessed a remarkable growth.
He went on to note that based on the law, if a foreign investor doesn't transfer a part of the agreed amount of money to the country in six months, the issued license will be annulled.
