5 In The Name of God Once again Kish hosts a unique event in the country s economy. Organizing the second International Exhibition on Exchange, Banking, Insurance, Privatization and Investment Opportunities in Kish Island has highlighted Kish as the main destination of investors, professionals and great activists in in the financial and monetary markets of the country. Considering the specific geographic features and developing statues of monetary and financial markets in Kish accompanied with educated Kishizens (Kish citizens) as well as various financial, managerial, and economic academic centers, Kish Free Zone Organization has attempted to turn Kish into the financial center of the country and the region. This great wish was manifested after the establishment of «The Government of Wisdom and Hope» and adoption of wise policies by the respectful president in the foreign policy, and by adopting an active foreign diplomatic system in negotiations with the international powers which led to the accomplishment of the comprehensive joint action program in Vienna (Barjam). Presently, through completely understanding the unique situation of Kish Island and the historical opportunity emerging from this national effort, we decided to play our role, though a little, to help the accomplishment of such a great goal. The conference on The Post-Sanction Iran Economy, Kish the Gateway was held aiming at exactly illustrating the country s economy in the post-sanction era as well as showing the objectives and capacities of the national economy and the role of Kish Island in this respect. In this conference, all the effective bodies in the investment measures and actions of the country have gathered together so that the domestic and foreign investors could have a clarified and comprehensive image of the transaction environment of the country as well as its investment opportunities in a -2day time. This means that Kish is an open window to Iran s economy for the investors and that is why the discerned economists have rightly named this pretty pearl of the Persian Gulf as the gate-way. I hope that through my own attempts and those of my hardworking staff in Kish Free Zone Organization supported by hospitable and keen Kishizens, we could serve as suitable hosts for the investors and economic activists of the country and could successfully play the role we have selected in line with facilitating investment in the country concentrating on the monetary and financial measures.

9 1. Iran: An Overview 1.1 Geography Iran is one of the largest countries in the Middle East; the country of mountains and deserts. Eastern Iran is dominated by a high plateau, with large salt flats and vast sand deserts. The plateau is surrounded by even higher mountains, including the Zagros to the west and the Alborz to the north. Its neighbors are Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan and Armenia on the north, Afghanistan and Pakistan on the east, and Turkey and Iraq on the west. 1.2 Population Iran s population increased dramatically during the late half of the 20th century, reaching about 75 million, according to the 2011 population census. By the end of 2015, Iran s Population will be about 78,778,000. Population: Age Average: Population Growth Rate: University Graduates: Area (Square Kilometer.)

Climate Iran s climate ranges huge verities from arid or semiarid, to subtropical along the Caspian coast and the northern forests History Recent archaeological studies indicate that as early as 10,000 BC, people lived on the southern shores of the Caspian, one of the few regions of the world which according to scientists escaped the Ice Age. They were probably the first men in the history of mankind to engage in agriculture. 1.5.Language Official language of Iran is Persian. Persian serves as a lingua franca in Iran and most of publications and broadcastings are presented in this language Transportation System Transportation in Iran is inexpensive because of the government s subsidization on the gasoline price. More than one million people work in the transportation sector. Dozens of cities have airports that serve passengers and cargo planes.

All large cities have mass transit systems using buses and several private companies provide bus services between cities Key Indicators of the Country Indicator Year Amount Unit (by) Population Person Population Growth Rate /1 Percent Urbanization /71 Percent Household /3 Person Life Expectancy for males at Birth /72 Year Life Expectancy for females at Birth /74 Year The literacy rate of 6 year olds and above /84 Percent Economic participation rate Spring Percent Unemployment Rate Spring /10 Percent Gini coefficient /0 Internet penetration coefficient (among10 year old and above) /17 Percent Inflation Rate Autumn /13 Percent Economic Growth Rate(Including Oil) /2- Percent Economic Growth Rate(Excluding Oil) Percent Economic Growth Rate Percent 11

11 2 Iran s Economy Iran s economy is a mixture of central planning, private ownership, village agriculture, and small-scale private trading and service ventures. Iran is ranked as an upper-middle income economy by the World Bank. In the early 21st century the service sector contributed the largest percentage of the GDP, followed by oil industry, manufacturing and agriculture. The Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran is responsible for the stability of Iranian Rial, which serves as the country s currency. Iran enjoys a broad range of manufacturing industries including oil, petrochemicals, auto manufacturing, transportation, construction materials, home appliances, food and agricultural goods, pharmaceuticals and information technology. From 2006 to 2014, Iran s GDP almost tripled (from 163 billion US $ to 549 billion dollars). Iran, in this regard, is placed third among the MENA countries as well as Turkey and Azerbaijan.

12 2.1 Iran: A Key Player in the Global Energy Iran holds the fourth-largest proven oil reserves in the world after Venezuela, Saudi Arabia and Canada. Furthermore, Iran holds the second largest proven natural gas reserves after Russia. The vast majority of these reserves must be developed which would require significant investments in infrastructure. Iran also holds the longest coastline along the Persian Gulf where almost 35% of all seaborne traded oil finds its way toward the Indian Ocean via Hormoz Strait. Furthermore, around 20% of global LNG passes through this narrow water way. 13

In case we reach a negotiated agreement (that we believe is likely), economic sanctions should be significantly reduced over a reasonable period. Currency Stability Iranian currency (Rial) has strengthened approximately 25% (from recent lows of last year) due to partial alleviations of sanctions, tight monetary policies, strong trade balance and favorable expectations regarding policies of the new government. We expect that Rial will be stable over foreseeable future Inflation Reduction Inflation has declined from a high of 45% to less than 25%. Monthly CPI figures indicate that inflation could reach as low as 15% or less over the next few months. Even with expected reductions in energy subsidies, inflation rate of less than 20% over the next couple of years is likely. 17

Target Markets: Presently, 3000 tons different types of fish is caught in Kish island. This is usually marketed fresh and without package. There is no fish factory in Kish island. Considering the amount of the fish caught and tourists' liking to buy fresh fish, a fish factory which can offer processed and properly packaged fish to tourists, can help economic prosperity and increase the added value in fisheries in the island. Additionally, because carrying fresh fish without proper package package is difficult for tourists many of them change their mind. This is while, availability of a high-quality processed product can meet this potential demand and set up a profitable business. The added value is 25 percent of that of the unprocessed fish sold Investment methods A: Partnership B: contracting C: Absolute purchase of land D:Rent land 16.Adavantages & incentives: refer to chapter 2, page

173 Cobia aquaculture 1. Project title: Cobia aquaculture 2. Location: 174

174 3. The Project: The project is farming Cobia fish in sea known as aquaculture. Farming fish in cages in sea is one of the methods fish farming that enjoys numerous advantages over farming fish in tanks. Some of the advantages are: reduced start-up costs, portability, pests and diseases control, reduced running costs including water and water treatment. Cobia fish is a precious species, native to Persian Gulf and one of the most economically valuable spices native to Iran.Its pink meat has a special fat and it is saturated with Omega 3. Its meat is tender and has no bones and that is why it is perfect for all types of food which are cooked using fish. To implement the project, 10 cages is needed. These cages come in different qualities and varieties. Rough water cages are going to be used for this project. Such cylindrical cages are made of polyethylene, with the volume of M3 and are securely tied from sides. They have 3 rows of pipes to increase their floatability and stability far off the shores. Norway is number-one manufacturer of these cages. A work boat- a boat to control the whole farm-is needed to support the feeding system. It creates 27 jobs and its annual capacity is 500 tons. 4. Products/Services: Farmed Cobia 5. Annual Capacity: 500 tons 6. The required land: 1000 M2 coastal land and 10 hectares sea area 7. Ownership: The land is owned by Kish Free Zone Organization which can be sold to Iranians and rented to aliens. 8. Legal permits: As per article 11 laws on Administration of Free and Special Economic Zones, issuing permits for legal economic activities of any kind in the region lies with the respective zone organization.

Target Markets: Fishing is a main job for people in the South of Iran. However, as there are restrictions for catching certain fish, fisherman cannot go fishing in all seasons. That is why, in several seasons the supply decreases so the prices go up. Therefore, there is always extra demand for certain fish that are usually caught seasonally. Moreover, fish is a highly nutritious food and it is important for humans health, Nowadays, it is being increasingly consumed. Large number of tourists annually visiting Kish Island and their liking to consume seafood have increased the demand for fish more than what is typical in different seasons. Hence, always and usually in New Year Holidays and summer there is undersupply of fish in the island. That is why fish processing and increasing fish supply is a priority for Kish Island. Additionally, because of Kish proximity to international waters and countries on Persian Gulf, These countries can be potential target markets for fish products. Presently, a considerable volume of the fish from Kish Island is beingexported to Arab countries on Persian Gulf Investment methods A: Partnership B: contracting C: Absolute purchase of land D:Rent land 16.
