Study of the Challenges Facing Transit in Iran and Proposing Solutions to Address Issues in This Sector
Abstract
One of Iran’s key strengths in boosting non-oil exports is its strategic geographical position, which provides well-established transit routes and facilitates connections with neighboring countries. For many years, Iran has been recognized as a major transit hub due to its unique geopolitical conditions and its location along key east-west trade routes, including the well-known ECO and Silk Road corridors. This has earned Iran the title of the ‘Highway of Nations.’
Since low transportation costs and shorter transit times are crucial factors in trade, choosing efficient and cost-effective routes like Iran, which shortens the overland cargo transit between Asia and Europe, has been highly favored by cargo owners and international transport companies.
Some of the key topics of this article include:
1.Examining the challenges facing transit in Iran
2.Proposing solutions to overcome Iran’s transit barriers
This study was conducted at the Center for Development and Foresight research center by Hamid Mohammadi in collaboration with Mohaddeseh Bashir Mashhadi, Golnesa Salavati, and Yadollah Divsalar in the year 1401.
