🎦 The decrease of only 4% in the import of basic goods under war conditions shows the neutralization of the economic blockade.
Mahmoudian, expert in international economics and trade borders:
🔹 Restriction of the southern ports is not a concern despite the 6,000 km land border with 15 neighbors and northern ports, and alternative trade capabilities have been activated.
The endogenous nature of the bulk of national production made the effects of pressures and economic blockade as minimal as possible.
🔹 The statistics of the organization for trade development indicate that during the last few months only 4% of the import of basic products has decreased and there is no shortage of essential goods.
On the other hand, the 33% decrease in the import of non-essential items created a strategic opportunity to move towards self-supply and implement an import substitution policy.
