The amount of foreign investment in Iran reached its peak in the past [Iranian calendar] year 1391, the Mehr News Agency quoted Alishiri as saying.

The investment figure has been reported to UNCTAD (the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development), he said, adding, If UNCTAD approves the figure, we will announce it.
