U.S. officials like to describe #Iran as a near impossible place to do business. But Iran actually ranks one place higher than #Brazil in the @WorldBank's Doing Business Rankings (at a dismal 124). Both countries have rampant corruption.
However, missing out on FDI has not made #Iran a growth laggard. Iran and Brazil have the *exact same* average annual GDP growth since 1980: 2.54% The key difference is that Iran's growth has been more volatile as it is tied to the price of oil.
