BMI View:The removal of
sanctions on Iran in January 2016 is expected to have a positive impact on the level of foreign direct investment in
the country, with GDP forecast to experience rapid growth over our medium-term forecast period from
2016-2020. The mobile segment is set to continue on its strong growth trajectory due to the increased
accessibility of 3G and 4G services. The wireline segment will however continue to struggle because of the
growing preference for mobile solutions.
