Tehran Times - �The main goal and priority of industry ministry is preserving the current level of domestic production,� Iranian industry minister announced in a news conference in the southern province of Kerman on Wednesday.

The main difficulties are with the issues including supplying working capital for production units and present liquidity volume, which need to be addressed in the current circumstances, IRNA quoted Reza Rahmani as saying.

Supplying raw materials and foreign exchange for units which are import-reliant as well as easing banking facilities and tax issues are among the demands of domestic industrial units, he said.
