TEHRAN – The head of Iran Securities and Exchange Organization (SEO) has said the entity will take the necessary measures to ensure that the direct and indirect interests of the stock market are considered in next year’s budget bill.

“We are taking special measures in relation to the budget bill and issues that directly or indirectly affect the capital market,” newly appointed SEO Head Hojatollah Seyedi said.

Members of Iran’s Securities and Exchange Council have elected Seyedi as the new head of Iran’s Securities and Exchange Organization earlier this month.

Seyedi replaced Majid Eshqi during a meeting of the mentioned council on September 13.
