Financial Tribune - �Access to energy carriers (electricity, gas and diesel)�, �access to water� and �access to the internet and mobile phone network� were the three most prominent factors that helped improve the business environment in summer

Iran�s business environment displayed the third consecutive improvement in the three-month period ending Sept. 22 compared with the previous quarter.

The country�s business environment was in fact in its best condition during the past one and a half years in summer, Iran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture reported.

Iran�s National Business Environment Index stood at 6.07 in Q2 of the current fiscal year, registering a decrease of 1.6% compared with the preceding quarter and a decrease of 5.17% over the same quarter of last year.

The index calculated by ICCIMA measures business friendliness of Iran�s economy, with 10 indicating the worst grade, which suggests that the decline in the index is indicative of an improving business environment.
