Speaking at the inaugural National Conference on Credit Sales of
Petrochemical Products, Gholami emphasized the industry's leadership role in
curbing raw material exports.
Gholami noted that the NPC's commitment to credit sales reflects its
adherence to the Supreme Leader's directives. "Credit sales of
petrochemical products increased by approximately 60% in the first two months
of 2024 compared to the same period last year," he stated.
He highlighted that the main challenge for downstream industries is
securing working capital, which traditionally relies on bank loans. "The
credit sales strategy significantly alleviated this issue, with about 780
trillion rials ($78 billion) worth of petrochemical products sold on credit
last year," Gholami added.
Gholami praised the cooperation of petrochemical companies in adopting
credit sales, reinforcing the industry's dedication to the Supreme Leader's
policies. "The petrochemical industry is the flag bearer in preventing raw
material sales," he asserted.
He further emphasized that the industry has never experienced such a
favorable trend, calling the surge in credit sales unprecedented. "The
petrochemical industry can serve as a model for other sectors to adopt credit
sales strategies," Gholami concluded.
