Iran

The Near and Middle East Association, together with the German Orient Institute, the Iranian-German-Business Forum and our partner Iran, publishes the business guide IRAN. The IRAN business guide offers information on social and political challenges, legal information on market entry, industries, regions and projects in this economically important country.

Iran is going through great developments at the moment. Since the adoption of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPoA) in mid-2015, a gradual rapprochement between Iran and the West began. The promising implementation so far indicates a normalization of economic relations as well. Iran has the fourth largest proven oil reserves and the second largest proven gas reserves in the world.

The German foreign trade volume with Iran is forecast to increase significantly in the coming years. While all areas and also the private sector should benefit from further state investments, the Iranian side is particularly encouraging cooperation with knowledge transfer, as the country has a well-educated and young population in regional comparison. This guide offers a comprehensive overview of politics, history and society, as well as practical information on business activities.

Turkey stands for an up-and-coming emerging country with a young population that is playing an increasing role in international trade. The location between Europe and Asia has enabled Turkey to establish itself as a hub in many industries.

Turkey is well positioned in many branches of the economy. In the past few years it was above all the international energy trade in which Turkey was able to occupy an important position as a transit country. Other areas, such as the automotive or service sector, have also established themselves. In addition to this geographic factor, Turkeys' growing domestic market has also allowed many companies to experience strong growth.

Over the course of history, the EU and primarily Germany have become Turkey's largest trading partners in the import and export business and are among the country's most important foreign investors.
