Petrochemical Commercial Company (PCC) Managing Director Mehdi Sharifi Niknafas pointed to establishment of a PCC office in capital of England in a bid to purse issues related to finance and Lines of Credit (LOCs) from European banks.

“An team of experts have launched talks in the London office for reopening of credit lines and finances,” noted the official asserting “using new credit lines of investment funds remains as a top priority for supplying financial resources of ongoing projects in the petrochemical industry.”

Niknafas stated that one financial contract has been so far inked with Spain; “presently, accounts of Petrochemical Commercial Company in European banks have been reopened providing the possibility for currency transfer,” he continued.
