Iran’s Securities and Exchange Organization (SEO) has unveiled a comprehensive support package to encourage activities in the capital market as shareholders are getting reluctant to invest in the market.

As announced by the SEO Office of Public Relations, one of the major measures considered in this package is the insurance of shareholders’ capital and dividends over the next year.
