Iran's central bank high council approves and circulates rules for divesting banks' surplus assets through the capital market
Jul 28, 2026
The high council of Iran's central bank has approved and circulated to the banking network the procedure for divesting the banking system's properties and assets. The resolution sets out the route for selling banks' surplus assets through the capital market, and was reported on Tuesday 28 July 2026 (6 Mordad 1405).
Divesting surplus assets is a long standing requirement of balance sheet reform in Iran's banking system. Banks' non productive assets tie up part of their resources and weigh on their capital adequacy and lending capacity. Channelling these disposals through the capital market makes the price discovery mechanism more transparent, and it is a matter of interest to shareholders of the listed banks, which carry a significant weight in the main index.
