Accordingly, trade balance of the country in this three-month period in the current year (March 2 – June 21) turned positive, he stated.

Modoudi pointed to the significance of production capacities and export products to finance export and added, “the country gained plenty of foreign exchange resources for many years but these resources were not spent appropriately for promoting export of non-oil commodities.”
