Morteza Khazanedari<br />

Managing Director<br />

TSETMC’s activities for the year 2008 are:<br />

The major project at TSETMC is to implement a<br />

new trading solution for the Tehran Stock<br />

Exchange (TSE) in the year 2008. The trading<br />

solution was installed on the purchased hardware<br />

in early April 2007. This Solution is due to come<br />

online in the winter of 2008 after finalization of<br />

internal and external User Acceptance Testing<br />

(UAT). TSETMC is also assisting the newly<br />

established CSD Iran Company for the<br />

implementation of a new post-trade solution.<br />

TSETMC has a very close relationship with CSD<br />

Iran Company since all of the post-trade activities<br />

were the responsibility of TSETMC before the<br />

enactment of the Capital Market Act by the<br />

Iranian Parliament in 2005. CSD Iran Company is<br />

also an Affiliated Member of <strong>FEAS</strong>.<br />

During the implementation of the new core trade<br />

and post-trade solutions, TSETMC is assisting<br />

major brokerage firms in Iran for the<br />

implementation of Brokerage Solutions.<br />

The plan is to introduce financial and commodity<br />

derivatives markets in TSE and the newly<br />

established Iranian Mercantile Exchange (IME) in<br />

the near future. TSETMC is supporting the<br />

introduction of these markets and also their trade<br />

and post-trade processing. TSETMC is an active<br />

member of a consortium with the responsibility to<br />

establish the Iranian Petroleum Exchange.<br />

TSETMC is the main contributor in the<br />

development and implementation of international<br />

standards in Iran. TSETMC is helping the<br />

implementation of a DVP Model2 for TSE’s equity<br />

market. In addition, the new CSD Company<br />

would become a CCP of the equity market by<br />

2010. TSETMC is involved with CSD Iran for the<br />

provision of needed infrastructure and risk<br />

management mechanisms.<br />

Other Projects<br />

Financial Information Processing of Iran (FIPI)<br />

TSETMC started a new project titled "Financial<br />

Information Processing of Iran" (FIPI). The main<br />

objective of the project is to establish a Data<br />

Warehouse to gather and maintain all important<br />

information and data in Iranian financial markets.<br />

Stored data and information are processed and<br />

delivered via different mediums (such as a website,<br />

Decision Support Systems and Standard reports) to<br />

various users.<br />

Digital Signature Certificate<br />

TSETMC defined a new project with Iranian Commerce<br />

Ministry to become a Certified Authorization (CA) body<br />

for the Iranian Capital Market. Iranian Ministry of<br />

Commerce acts as a root CA in Iran and authorized<br />

TSETMC to provide Digital Signature Certificate to<br />

capital market’s participants. Such certificate has a vital<br />

rule in electronic commerce as both parties could<br />

transact digitally with very high level integrity, privacy,<br />

authentication and none-repudiation.<br />
