Sharif Nezammafi, Head of the Iran-Switzerland Chamber of Commerce, on the probability of non-Swiss companies entering the Swiss financial channel said:
Companies paying taxes due to having an office in Switzerland are able to apply this financial channel. Most of the world’s largest grain companies, such as Cargill and Bongi, have administrative offices in Geneva, and the SHTA channel has focused on the world’s largest grain companies, which could help meet Iran’s 20 million tons of grain needs, but this depends on the permission of US. government to transfer money. So far, 50 Swiss companies have volunteered for the channel.
