Hassan Peymani said the latest approval concerns a $5 million investment by a Chinese investor in a project to manufacture banking point-of-sale (POS) terminals in Malayer County.

The project, to be implemented by Yekta Kart Rousta Company with foreign investment participation, will establish a production facility for bank card payment terminals and is expected to create 10 direct jobs, Peymani said.

He noted that the five approved projects span several sectors, including automotive parts manufacturing, motorcycle production, agro-industrial complexes and solar power generation. They involve investors from China, the United Arab Emirates, and Belarus, reflecting the province's diverse investment opportunities.

Peymani also announced that a separate foreign investment proposal for the production of computer numerical control (CNC) machines is under consideration, with the necessary legal procedures and steps toward final approval currently underway.

He emphasized that attracting foreign capital, streamlining investment procedures, and supporting productive, job-creating ventures remain key priorities for the provincial economic authorities.

The province, he added, is working to identify new investment opportunities and facilitate capital inflows to strengthen industrial production and promote sustainable economic growth in Hamedan.
