The construction industry in the country, especially in Tehran, has been weakening day by day with the exit of private sector investors, to the extent that the average real investment in the residential construction market in Tehran has been negative 11 percent since the beginning of the 1400s. Although the main reasons for the exit of capital from the construction industry stem from macroeconomic conditions and political developments, policymaking in the housing and construction sector has also played a role in exacerbating capital outflow. Therefore, by reforming policies, the resilience of the construction industry in the prevailing recession in the housing sector can be enhanced. Reforming intra-sector policies with actions including 'facilitating small-scale construction by amending regulations', 'redirecting investors to small cities', 'reducing the time for issuing construction permits to decrease the construction period and improve investment returns in inflationary conditions', and 'attracting private sector investment capacity to construction for professional renting'.
The Path to Constructive Coexistence with Housing Recession
The construction industry in Iran, particularly in Tehran, is facing a significant downturn due to the exit of private investors, with real investment rates plummeting. This situation is influenced by broader economic and political factors, but there are potential policy reforms that could improve the industry's resilience.
