The previous success in the stock market has encouraged companies to sell their shares, to provide for the financial sources and improve production.

The government has supported the stock market recently by offering its shares in public companies via Exchange Traded Fund (ETF) to provide finances for it needs, and has liberalized the ownership of so-called 'Justice Shares' to people to trade at stock exchange and help low-income families.

Iran plans to offer shares of 15 subsidiary companies of the National Pension Fund at the stock exchange, alongside 12 railway and road projects while it is expected to trade housing units per square meter.
