Knowledge-Based Companies Suffered 100 Hemat in War Damages

Given the heavy losses of 100 hemat suffered by knowledge-based companies, the Central Bank should allocate a separate credit line to them.

According to Ambassador Arjan, in recent years, knowledge-based companies have played an important role in reducing the country's dependence on imports and increasing economic resilience by relying on the power of domestic experts, developing technology and producing strategic products. These companies produce products in various fields, from advanced industries and specialized equipment to health, energy and strategic technologies, which in many cases do not have easy foreign alternatives.

However, the heavy damage caused to knowledge-based companies in the recent war has exposed a significant capacity of technological production of the country and has made the rapid revival of these capacities an economic and strategic necessity.

The important point is that the damage caused to these companies is not limited to the destruction of buildings, machinery or production lines; Rather, part of multi-year investments in the field of research and development, technical know-how, training of specialized human resources and creation of domestic supply chains are also affected.

Stopping the activity of these companies can disrupt the production of strategic products and make the country more dependent on the import of foreign goods and equipment to meet its needs. In the conditions of limited foreign exchange resources, replacing domestic production with imports, in addition to imposing more costs, will put additional pressure on the country's foreign exchange resources.

Based on this, it is expected that the Central Bank, in cooperation with the government, will consider an independent and dedicated credit line of at least 50 Hamats to support the reconstruction and revival of the production capacity of damaged knowledge-based companies. These resources should be allocated separately and with a specific mission to restore the production lines to the activity circuit, supply the necessary equipment and raw materials, compensate for the lack of working capital and complete the damaged technological capacities.

Relying on public and scattered facilities, without providing special resources for these companies, may prolong the reconstruction process and delay the return of key products to the production cycle. Therefore, knowledge-based and hi-tech companies that have suffered heavy losses in the recent imposed war, need urgent support so that the cycle of innovation and production in the country does not stop.

In the following, you will read the details of the interview with Jafar Qadri, a member of the Parliament's Economic Commission. Qadri said regarding the support of high-tech knowledge-based companies: these companies are the driving force of innovation, strengthening technologies at the edge of knowledge and producing high and technological added value in the country, and the enemy knows very well that harming them means harming the country's progress. For this reason, in the recent imposed war, these companies became the main target of the enemy, and according to estimates, around 100 Hamats have been damaged. This large figure shows that supporting them is an urgent and undeniable necessity.

He continued: Considering the heavy damage of 100 hemats inflicted on knowledge-based companies, it is expected that the central bank will consider a separate and independent credit of at least 50 hemats to support the restoration of the production capacity of strategic goods of these knowledge-based companies. This amount can help to revive the production lines, compensate part of the losses and prevent the stoppage of the activities of these companies. If this support is not done in time, many of these companies may be permanently out of the country's economy cycle.

This member of parliament noted: The important issue is that the facility should be provided to knowledge-based companies quickly and without extensive and lengthy bureaucracy. In the conditions of economic war, time is a decisive factor and every day of delay can lead to the closure of more units. Also, the facility conditions should be suitable so that these companies can rebuild and continue their activities without financial pressure.

In the end, Qadri emphasized: supporting knowledge bases is not only an economic aid, but also a long-term investment to strengthen the country's resilience against external pressures. If these companies leave the production cycle, expert human capital and years of efforts to localize technology will be lost, and this will be irreparable damage to the future of the national economy.
