Iranian media, citing Cyrus Talaari, a member of the Joint Investment Association of Iran and Foreign Countries, reported that Afghan migrants in the country are investing between $200,000 to $15 million.
According to reports in Iranian media, he made these remarks on Friday, August 30th.
This Iranian official pointed out that Afghanistan’s migrants invest due to receiving residency permits in Iran and emphasized Iran’s need to attract foreign capital, especially for infrastructure development.
He stressed that Iran prefers Pakistan among its neighbors due to its stable government adhering to international laws, ensuring the security of investments.
Talaari highlighted that security concerns in Iran affect investors due to domestic and international factors.
He emphasized that the highest demand for investment in Iran comes from Iranian expatriates with capital ranging from $10 to $30 million.
Earlier, the Foreign Investment Association of Iran had stated that Afghans rank first in investment in the country.
Meanwhile, Iranian authorities have consistently reported on the expulsion of Afghan migrants from the country.
However, reports have also surfaced about increasing restrictions and mistreatment towards Afghan migrants by Iran.
Despite Afghan migrants’ significant investments in Iran and the country’s need for foreign capital, ongoing concerns about security and treatment of migrants underscore complex challenges that both countries continue to navigate.
