        "short_overview": "Credit covers the formal and informal mechanisms through which Iranian households, SMEs, suppliers, and companies finance purchases, inventory, production, and working capital. It is a key market signal because credit pressure reveals where demand is real, where cash is tight, and where business relationships depend on trust rather than transparent financing.",
        "market_thesis": "Credit in Iran is shaped by inflation, collateral practices, banking constraints, supplier relationships, consumer affordability, and limited access to international finance. The opportunity is not only lending itself; it is understanding how credit scarcity changes behavior across the economy. Businesses may extend supplier credit, delay receivables, rely on personal guarantees, hold inventory as protection, or shift to cash-based transactions. For investors, this makes credit a diagnostic tool for counterparty risk, working-capital stress, consumer capacity, and the need for better payment, scoring, receivables, and trade-finance infrastructure.",
        "market_structure": "The market includes bank loans, corporate credit lines, supplier credit, receivables, installment sales, consumer finance, collateral-backed borrowing, informal lending, leasing, and trade-related financing. Large companies and connected actors generally have better credit access than SMEs and newer private businesses. Credit availability differs by sector, collateral quality, banking relationship, inflation expectations, and local market reputation. In many segments, trust and repeated relationships matter as much as formal credit scoring.",
        "investor_relevance": "Credit conditions help investors evaluate whether customers can pay, whether suppliers are financially stable, and whether a business depends on fragile working-capital chains. This market is relevant for due diligence, distributor selection, receivables analysis, consumer-finance opportunities, SME services, trade finance, and enterprise software linked to invoices and payments. Credit stress can also reveal sectors where demand exists but liquidity prevents growth.",
