(MENAFN) On Tuesday, the Tehran Stock Exchange's main index, TEDPIX, recorded a significant drop, falling by 4,278 points to reach 2,217,020. This decline marked the fourth trading day of the Iranian calendar week, reflecting ongoing fluctuations in the market.

The Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) stands as the most prominent of Iran's four stock exchanges. The other three key exchanges include the Iran Mercantile Exchange (IME), the Iran Energy Exchange (IRENEX), as well as the over-the-counter market known as Iran Fara Bourse (IFB). Each of these exchanges plays a crucial role in the Iranian economy, catering to different sectors and types of financial transactions.

In late January, the deputy governor of the Central Bank of Iran (CBI) underscored the critical need for a variety of financing tools within the country. He highlighted that the stock market is currently providing these essential tools, which are vital for economic stability and growth. This statement accentuates the pivotal role that the TSE and its counterparts play in diversifying financing options and supporting the broader economic infrastructure of Iran. The emphasis on the stock market’s role in providing diverse financing tools indicates ongoing efforts to strengthen and stabilize the country's financial systems amidst various economic challenges.
