Dr. Salehabadi, in his new role as the Secretary General of the TSE will be responsible for heralding new developments at the TSE to increase regulation and full disclosure of material information by the listed companies; initiate new listing criteria for applicants wishing to be admitted to the TSE; introduce new trading instruments through new and innovative technological advances; promote a better investment climate; encourage a new regulatory framework regarding absorbing foreign investment and participation; and extend the international presence of the TSE.
Dr. Salehabadi’s insight and experience in the fields of finance and economics make him an outstanding candidate to lead the TSE into a new realm of trading at the TSE. The growth of the TSE into a truly international market will constitute an important goal not only for the TSE but also for the investment community.
Although the TSE has been only fairly active in the previous decade after the revolution, the TSE continues to be amongst the best performing markets both in the Middle East and around the world despite the global downturn in equities markets in recent years. Dr. Salehabadi welcomes the challenge of building upon such a strong foundation and increasing the TSE’s visibility by introducing a new regulatory framework as well as the possibility of new initiatives to benefit both listed companies and investors alike.
Dr. Salehabadi succeeds Dr. Hossein Abdoh Tabrizi, who had held the position since May 2003. Dr. Abdoh Tabrizi will continue working in Iranian financial and capital markets.
