Abstract

This study has investigated the major barriers of Foreign Investment in Iran from
the investor's viewpoints.
In this study, we followed all of the foreign investors that recoursed to the
investment organization in a period of three months. 150 questionnaires (including
Doing Business Index) were sent via Email, fax and face to face interview, but only
35 questionnaires were returned. Data analysis has been done by use of inferential
statistics and SPSS software. We found that: There is significant relationship
between index of starting a business, dealing with licenses, employing workers,
registering property, protecting Investors, paying taxes, trading across borders,
enforcing contracts, closing a business and Foreign Investment. but there is no
meaningful relationship, between index of bank getting credit and Foreign
Investment.
