Chief Executive Officer

As we step into the new year, I want to take a moment to look back on 2021 and thank all the staff for their contributions over the past year.

2021 was another transformative year for Central Securities Depository of Iran. It was a year in which we strengthened the business further and grew our ranks by rolling out important initiatives that will help to guarantee our continued success in the future. Working together we made good progress toward our strategic goals despite significant challenges – not the least of which were ongoing disruptions from the pandemic that continues to have such a substantial impact on our own work lives. I was proud to see how quickly we adapted to each new challenge and how teams from across the company collaborated with one another to make the most of every opportunity. Great examples of this include the successful electronic dividend distribution of 276 companies listed on the TSE and IFB, which was a record number for itself to some 42 million bank accounts of shareholders through CSDI's innovative, domestically designed platforms.

We also took other important steps, such as launching new solutions in joint projects with elite commercial Iranian banks to provide capital market services to bank customers. The capital market beneficiaries, too, can now receive services through a single gateway by visiting banks.

We try to provide clients with services such as doing KYC, investing in mutual funds and Sukuks, receiving dividends, etc.

CSD Iran also held the electronic annual ordinary and extraordinary general meetings of several companies during the past year thanks to the CSDI’s

integrated portal of electronic general meetings (DIMA).

Over the past year we have all demonstrated over and over again our strengths as an organization and made clear that when it comes to Central Securities Depository of Iran, the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. This is because we are an ambitious team that sets high goals and a talented team that works hard to achieve them.
