Capital Market Performance Appraised

The Economy Ministry has reported the performance of the domestic capital market in the year ending August 2020. 
It said the capital market had grown dramatically largely due to a package of measures that, among other things, target expansion and add diversity to trading instruments.
The number of listed companies at the Tehran Stock Exchange and the junior equity market rose from 611 in August 2019 to 636 companies in August 2020, according to the report published on the ministry news portal shada.ir. 
Listed companies generated 220 trillion rials ($956 million) via initial public offerings in the period.
