: Some 50 international investors received approval to trade on the exchange in the past six months, and are now awaiting the end of sanctions, he said, according to Business Week. Iran and six countries, including the US, ended a 12-year standoff in July by signing an agreement limiting Iran nuclear program in exchange for the removal of trade and other restrictions. We had a lot of requests and a lot of visitors from abroad, said Hassan Ghalibaf Asl, the chief executive officer of the Tehran Stock Exchange, in an interview at his office in the Iranian capital. Under the accord, Iran will be freed from economic and financial sanctions once United Nations monitors verify it has curbed its nuclear activities and addressed suspicions that it sought to develop atomic weapons in the past. Relief from sanctions may accelerate economic growth in the nation of 77 million people by removing barriers to Iran oil exports and ending the isolation of its banks from the global financial system. That could happen by early 2016.
