Iran (IMNA) - Figures reveal that foreign shareholders injected 181.83 trillion rials—approximately $200 million—into the Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) and its subsidiary market, Fara Bourse, by July 22. This marks a 91% increase compared to the same period ending in late July 2024, reflecting a robust rise in international confidence.
The data further breaks down the investments, showing that foreign corporate entities contributed over 167 trillion rials, while individual foreign investors accounted for more than 14.8 trillion rials. The total number of registered foreign shareholders in the two markets rose by 5.3% to 5,100, consisting of 3,339 corporate investors and 1,709 individuals.
This growth comes amid ongoing efforts by the Iranian government to bolster capital inflows into local stock markets, particularly after investor nervousness following a 12-day conflict between Iran and Israel. Despite the increase in foreign investment, the TSE’s main index experienced a notable decline, dropping by 21,851 points on Monday to just over 2.54 million points. This contrasts with levels around 2.8 million points recorded in mid-June before the onset of hostilities.
