Seyed Mousa Mousavi, a member of the Parliament’s Energy Committee,
told NIPNA that the legislative body is actively working to approve laws and
regulations aimed at simplifying the investment process in the petrochemical
industry.
“The Parliament is determined to pass legislation that will ease
investment procedures in the oil and petrochemical sectors,” Mousavi said,
adding that several supportive laws have already been ratified, particularly
during the 11th parliamentary term.
Highlighting the strategic importance of the petrochemical industry,
Mousavi said that attracting investment in the sector is a shared priority
across parliamentary committees, including Energy, Industries and Mines, and
the Production Leap committees. These bodies, he noted, have coordinated efforts
to support the government in passing investment-friendly reforms.
Mousavi also underlined the crucial role of the private sector and
knowledge-based companies in boosting investment and innovation in oil, gas,
and petrochemical industries.
“Numerous knowledge-based firms are already operating in these
sectors, and their potential—especially in petrochemicals—must be further
utilized,” he said. “Positive steps have been taken in this direction, and
perceptions toward the private sector are evolving.”
He emphasized that confidence in domestic investment must translate
into tangible action.
“There is no doubt that the Iranian private sector possesses
significant capabilities. The managers and officials in the petrochemical
industry must place greater trust in these actors,” Mousavi said, pledging that
the Parliament and the Energy Committee will continue to lead efforts in
supporting this approach.
