TEHRAN (NIPNA) -- The diversity of credit-based petrochemical products in Iran's Mercantile Exchange is witnessing significant growth, according to a statement by the National Petrochemical Company.

In a session titled "Credit-Based Offering of Petrochemical Products: A Step Towards Revitalizing Idle and Underused Units," held on the sidelines of the 17th Iran Plast International Exhibition, Ehsan Yousefi, an expert in market regulation and support for complementary industries at the National Petrochemical Industries Company, highlighted the substantial increase in the offering of credit-based petrochemical products in the commodity exchange.

Yousefi noted that the introduction of credit-based petrochemical products in Iran's Commodity Exchange began in Aban (October-November) of the previous year. He stated that, in line with the existing directive, petrochemical companies are required to offer 25% of their production on a credit basis in the commodity exchange.

"In the year 1401 of the Iranian calendar, a total of 14 consignments of petrochemical products were offered on credit in the Commodity Exchange. This number has risen to approximately 28 consignments by the end of this year's Mordad (July-August)," Yousefi revealed.

Emphasizing the government's commitment to supporting domestic production and completing the value chain of various products, including petrochemicals, Yousefi stated, "One of the primary policies of the thirteenth government is to promote domestic production and enhance the value chain of various products, including petrochemicals."

The 17th Iran Plast International Exhibition, which commenced on Sunday, September 17, with a focus on expanding the value chain, supporting domestic manufacturing, and promoting local production, is set to run until Wednesday, September 20, in the permanent exhibition grounds of Tehran International Exhibition Center.
