The CBI commented on the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iran.

Ben Digby, CBI Head of International, said:

“With nuclear sanctions having now been lifted, businesses will be looking closely at investment opportunities in Iran.

“The legal and financial environment remains challenging and businesses should take careful advice, but this is a market with significant opportunity.

“Foreign investment in infrastructure, energy and education will be in particularly high demand as Iran develops its plans for delivering sustained economic growth. This will play well to the UK’s considerable strength in these areas.”
