The article may reflect the Iranian government's perspective on economic issues, emphasizing the need for reforms while downplaying internal challenges.

With the increase in political risks due to war and the intensification of sanctions, investment in the year 1404 has faced a 12% decline. Previously, significant drops in investment had only occurred at the beginning of the 1390s coinciding with the intensification of sanctions, in 1394 due to a sharp decline in oil prices, and in 1397 following the U.S. withdrawal from the JCPOA. The rise in external tensions since the beginning of the 1390s has caused the average annual investment growth in this decade to reach negative 6.2%, while this figure was around 7.7% in the previous decade. Additionally, the investment rate has decreased to 26%, which is considered low compared to the average of 31% in the 1380s of the Iranian economy and also in comparison to developing countries. For example, Southeast Asian countries have recorded investment rates above 40% for many years. Therefore, achieving economic growth in the coming years requires restoring the investment trend, mobilizing financial resources, and reducing economic uncertainties.
