Identifying and understanding the obstacles and challenges facing businesses is the first step in the long road to revitalizing the economy and achieving high growth rates. Recognizing the pains and economic ailments and then finding an effective, quick, and low-cost remedy to address these pains and diseases are the subsequent steps in the path to economic revitalization. The Research Center of the Islamic Consultative Assembly has been conducting a seasonal monitoring project since the fall of 2010, in which economic organizations from across Iran identify the obstacles and problems they face in starting or developing their businesses. In the summer of 2016, over 260 economic organizations from various sectors across Iran participated in this monitoring project and responded to its questions. In this program, we have examined the results of this report related to the summer of this year, and many of the components are similar to the results of this project in the spring of this year and the same season last year, indicating that these obstacles and problems remain persistent despite being recognized. Overall, based on the results of this monitoring project, the components related to the 'financial environment' and 'macroeconomic environment' of the Iranian economy, as well as the 'government structure' and 'political environment' of the institutional business environment in Iran, have had worse conditions compared to other components.
