Looking at the production, distribution, and sales of steel in the country over the past couple of years, we conclude that, overall, the situation is not favorable for either production or distribution. Steel market experts believe that the lack of a cohesive plan, respected by all stakeholders, is one of the key factors contributing to this situation. Some market observers state that with the arrival and departure of a minister, programs become uncertain and abandoned. As a result, steel market participants do not even have a short-term outlook to base their operations on.
Overall, the production of iron and steel in Iran exceeds consumption in most segments. Therefore, the existence of an export market for the steel industry becomes critically important. In a situation where long-term sanctions have cast their ominous shadow over the country’s economy, and financial transaction issues have added to the burden, focusing on neighboring countries and meeting their steel needs can serve as an outlet for the steel industry and an important contribution to the country’s economy. In this regard, despite the proximity of the foreign consumer market, we have been unable to compete effectively with other sellers, and Turkish exporters have outpaced Iranian exporters.
The existence of various financial regulations for exports, different currency exchange rates, and the lack of clarity…
It seems like the sentence got cut off. Could you please provide the rest of the text so I can complete the translation for you?The existence of various financial regulations for exports, different currency exchange rates, and the instability of the dollar rate have restricted the freedom of economic actors. In fact, from the very first stages of production to getting the product to the export market, there is a very complicated and rocky path that not everyone can navigate. If we compare the challenges faced by an Iranian steel producer with those of a steel producer in another part of the world, we would come to appreciate the intelligence, creativity, and hard work of the Iranian producer. We would be amazed at how they manage to sustain themselves, their production, and their workforce with such resilience.
Instabilities, changing regulations, various direct and indirect taxes, different levies, and the presence of hidden factors, as well as the ominous shadow of rent-seeking and corruption, are more evident in the distribution sector.
Over the years, well-meaning individuals in both the private and public sectors have proposed solutions to overcome this situation. However, it is clear that achieving an ideal state cannot be accomplished by just one manager, a few managers, or changes in certain laws, along with stabilizing a single sector. .Achieving a cohesive state requires .سازی درازمدت دارد. عزم ملی و اجتماعی لازم دارد که در وهله نخست رانت و رانت .It requires long-term cultural development. It necessitates national and social determination, where, in the first place, rent-seeking and corruption should not be seen as a form of cleverness or an advantage, but rather as a socially reprehensible act.
In addition, we must achieve a culture where having a plan and executing it accurately is considered a desirable action, and lack of planning and disregarding regulations and plans are viewed negatively.be met with shame and disgrace. In order for honest and sincere work to be valued, and for the position of someone who works with pure intent and adequate ability to not be influenced by personal and tribal relationships. .Without this, it is impossible to write laws and regulations. Years of experience in our country have shown that tightening regulations and enacting complex laws have not led to success, and they will not. .We must work on hearts. Without the presence of those who are truly dedicated to the progress of the country and the well-being of the Iranian people, we will not reach our destination. A brief look at the history of industries in Iran shows that the valuable institutions of our country, before being the product of organizations designed from above to achieve specific goals, were the result of genuine effort and commitment. They have been the result of the efforts of compassionate individuals who have dedicated themselves, working tirelessly, to establish an industry or an organization.They have laid the foundation and brought it to fruition. It is not that we negate the role of long-term national plans…And it’s not that we overly emphasize the role of individuals, but if we examine successful national institutions, we realize that without the presence of dedicated specialists and intellectuals who have given their all, those institutions and plans would not have come to fruition. Many projects and plans have remained on paper, abandoned halfway, or discarded due to losses. Let us look closely at the value of a compassionate Iranian, whether in the role of a worker or in a managerial position, which cannot be measured by any amount of material wealth. material wealth.
The role of the private sector in meeting this cultural need is much greater than that of the public sector. Governments come and go, but it is the activists and stakeholders in the private sector who remain and are forced to face both small and large challenges.
Unfortunately, for some time now, we have witnessed the disappointment and despair of our talented youth who, despite their inner will, are forced to emigrate and leave their homeland.The emigration of a talented and gifted young person is a warning bell that requires very sharp ears to hear .The industries of the country, especially the steel industry, are in urgent need of the talent of intellectuals. One of the most important factors behind this painful migration is economic instability. Last month, we witnessed a sharp increase in exchange rates. This is the worst thing that can happen to an economy. Economic experts have spoken and written extensively about this issue. All we can do is deeply express our regret and concern over this situation.
