Iran Exports Up by 45%
TEHRAN (FNA)- Head of Iran's Customs Office Abbas Me'marnejad announced that the country's exports have witnessed a remarkable increase during the first three months of the current Iranian year (March 21-June 21, 2011).
Me'marnejad said on Tuesday that Iran's exports experienced a 45% jump in the first quarter of the current Iranian year compared with the same period last year.
He also forecasted that the volume of Iran's trade turnover, including exports of non-oil products, imports, and transit of commodities, will rise to $150 billion this year.
The official noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran exported $10 billion worth of gas condensates during the first three months.
Earlier this month, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad underlined Iran's capability to further decrease the country's dependence on oil in budget revenues, and said Tehran plans to boost non-oil exports up to $45bln in the current Iranian year.
Iran had earlier announced that it plans to boost its non-oil exports to $80bln within the next five years.
According to a cabinet approval signed and issued in March by a number of cabinet ministers who are also members of Iran's High Council for the Promotion of Non-Oil Exports (HCPE), the country's non-oil exports in the current Iranian year will raise to $43bln out of which $31bln will be gained through exporting goods and $12bln through exporting services.
The approval also predicted a gradual growth for Iran's non-oil exports, and said the country's non-oil exports will increase to $43bln, $50.5bln, $59bln, $69bln and $80bln in the next five years, respectively.
According to official reports, Iran's non-oil products are exported to 160 countries of the world. China, Iraq, United Arab Emirates, India, Afghanistan, Turkey, Pakistan, Taiwan, the Republic of Korea and Belgium are the main destinations and markets of the Iranian products.
