Iran: Securitization comes to Iran

Bankers are in the final stages of preparing Iran’s first ever securitization, according the head of a Tehran investment bank.

The Iranian Securities and Exchange Organization has issued a licence for three banks to issue a combined total of about $1.7 billion in mortgage-backed securities, the banker says.

Hossain Abdoh Tabrizi of Bank Eghtesad Novin says that about $500 million in residential mortgage-backed securities will be offered to Iranian investors, probably by the end of September – or at the latest by the end of November. Tabrizi runs the investment banking arm of Bank Eghtesad Novin, one of the country’s biggest private-sector banks.
