Capital Market Activists protested the Iranian President
6 months after Ebrahim Raisi's office, the situation of the capital market was still disappointing. The total index of the Tehran Stock Exchange has fallen by more than 30 thousand units in today's transactions and reached 1 million 275 thousand units.
In this case, while most of the market shares returned to negative, the shareholders made the "first_priority_borsa" tag a trend in the virtual area.
This hashtag was created to protest the passive behavior of the President and the economic team about the situation of the capital, and states that Ebrahim Raisi would be the first priority of the stock market before the elections.
