The business environment in Iran is described as 'polluted.' This assessment comes from a member of the Economic Commission of the Parliament regarding the business climate for economic actors in Iran. This evaluation is not a personal or subjective analysis of Iran's business environment, as the pollution and adverse conditions of Iran's economy can be proven with standard indicators and criteria.
