Speaking to NIPNA, a member of the Tehran Chamber
of Commerce, Ala Mir Mohammad Sadeghi, said a regulator can ensure integrity of
exporters and devise master plants in the petrochemical sector.
He said the capacity and attractiveness of
investment in Iran's petrochemical industry is very abundant, adding: "One
of the things that undoubtedly will increase the development and attraction of investment
in the petrochemical industry is to create a regulatory body in this industry."
The businessman further added that the National
Petrochemical Company (NPC) could play as the regulator of the industry in Iran
to bring together petrochemical industrialists from across the country.
"Iran's petrochemical industry can play a
role the country's industrial and economic development by producing various products, as this industry
has a lot to say today, not only inside but also outside of the borders of this
country."
Mr. Sadeghi said developing the petrochemical industry
could safeguard the country against sale of crude oil and gas, adding,
"Evidently, many foreign investors are keen on joining petrochemical projects
in Iran."
