Post-War Reconstruction in Iran


The post-war era will witness a stupendous release of energies that had been pent up during the wartime conditions. The country's political, industrial, agricultural, and social combinations are being totally reorin the ongoing reconstruction effort.
Condemnation of Iraq as the aggressor, prepared the way for Iran to make a spectacular entrance onto the international stage. In compliance with the implementation of the First and the Second Five-Year Development Plans, remarkable increases are being achieved in the production of raw materials, manufacture and export of industrial goods and handicrafts, as well as the acceleration of heavy industry towards maturity. Iran is also expanding sales of manufactured goods to Asian, African, and other international markets. Despite the fact that the country's population has nearly doubled during the last 15 years, Iran is already exporting many of its agricultural products, while reducing imports of some essential goods.
Setbacks caused by the Iraqi imposed war are serving only as a spur to redouble the nation's efforts by diversifying the heavy industry into machine-making, metallurgical, and chemical sectors. Most of the previously government-owned factories are being sold to private shareholders. Thus a dynamism has appeared in the country's free enterprise system which is due in no small way to the government's generous support for private industry. Help takes the form of tax advantages and exemptions, loan facilities, subsidies, and high import tariffs on competitive foreign goods.
    


At the same time, top priority is being given to the modernization of Iran's admittedly underdeveloped rural economy -by any effective means. This has opened the wav for major scientific, technological, and commercial exchanges with the rest of the world.
In this short account of Iranian history, the subject was not treated from the beginning and we didn't go into details -which would require a dozen of volumes at least. There are many other aspects of Iranian civilization that you as the foreign tourist will discover for yourself -when you are here in Iran.
