Afrouz Bahrami made the statement on the sidelines of a visit to Iraq this week to participate in the Iran-Iraq Joint Trade Commission.

�EGFI has outperformed other similar funds in the region,� he said, the fund�s official website reported.

In a recent twitter account, Bahrami said the EGFI ranked second among guarantee funds in Aman Union after a peer fund in Turkey, in terms of ratio of penetration to total exports.
