Qader Masoumi Khaneqah, Director of Stock Market Supervision at the
Securities and Exchange Organization, announced the activation of the plan on
Wednesday, highlighting the importance of clear, data-driven policymaking
during market downturns.
“These tools are designed to mitigate irrational declines and curb
negative sentiment in sensitive periods,” Masoumi said, referring to the
approved mechanisms of equity insurance and put option bond issuance by the
Market Stabilization Fund.
The support package, part of the government’s response to recent
market instability, will be deployed gradually, he added.
Transparency as Foundation of Trust
Masoumi stressed that transparency in communicating the government's
economic measures is crucial for rebuilding public trust and encouraging
investor participation. “The more transparent our decisions, the less
uncertainty we face in the market,” he noted.
Call for Financial Education Reform
In a broader view of long-term market health, Masoumi underlined the
need to introduce basic financial literacy in schools. “While education can't
replace immediate interventions in times of crisis, early education can reduce
emotional responses over time,” he said.
Market Concerns Addressed
Addressing investor concerns over the operational aspects of the
stabilization plan, Masoumi reassured that fund allocations are being executed
in a phased and coordinated manner, with full inter-agency collaboration and
sensitivity to market dynamics.
