Iran Viable Investment With 29% in Poll as Rouhani Visits Davos

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani faces a tough sell as he presents his nation’s economic prospects before business leaders this week in Davos, Switzerland, a Bloomberg Global Poll suggests.

Asked whether Iran will be a viable investment opportunity within the next five years, 29 percent of survey respondents answered yes, while 57 percent said it wouldn’t. Fourteen percent said they had no idea. Those questioned outside the U.S. were more likely to be optimistic.
