Over the course of two days, the event featured 36 specialist panels, spanning a range of topics, including capital markets and digital finance. The ministry’s officials led discussions on foreign investment and international funding, presenting what they described as a “comprehensive roadmap” for aligning state and private-sector efforts.
Beyond the headline panel, senior representatives joined sessions on international stock exchanges, the role of BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the potential of artificial intelligence in economic planning.
The ministry’s presence reflects Tehran’s broader strategy under President Pezeshkian's government: to frame 1404 (in the Persian calendar) as the year of "Investments for Production." By engaging academics, financial institutions, and private-sector actors, officials aim to position Iran as a more credible destination for capital inflows, despite the country’s challenging geopolitical and economic environment.
