Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) is Iran's largest stock market, located in Tehran.[1] It first opened in 1967. As of October 2024, six hundred and sixty-three companies were listed on the TSE, with a total market value of about $94 billion USD (1 US dollar equals 693,000 Iranian rials).[2]

The TSE is a founding member of the Federation of Euro-Asian Stock Exchanges and was one of the best-performing stock markets globally between 2002 and 2013. It is considered an "emerging" or "frontier" market.[3]

Iran’s stock market includes companies from many industries, such as car manufacturing, telecommunications, farming, petrochemicals, mining, steel, copper, banking, and insurance. Many of these companies were originally state-owned but have since been privatized.[4]

On Saturday, December 14, 2024, the main stock index went up by more than 16,000 points, breaking its all-time high and reaching 2,559,000 points.

The idea of a stock exchange in Iran began in 1936, but was delayed by World War II. It was finally implemented in 1967 with the Stock Exchange Act, starting as a small market for corporate and government bonds.

In the 1970s, Iran’s economic growth and public interest in investing led to increased activity. The government encouraged participation by giving shares to employees of large companies, boosting the Tehran Stock Exchange.[1]
