The beginning of a serious discussion: transferring oil shares to 90 million Iranians

According to an exclusive report by Energy Press, Ali Karder, a member of the board of directors of the Oil Industry Pension Fund, discussed the issue of transferring shares of the National Iranian Oil Company to the public in an interview with Energy Press.
Pointing out that transferring shares of the National Iranian Oil Company to the public, like transferring equity shares, can be used as an important tool to reform the governance structure in the energy sector and solve imbalance challenges, he suggested that the company’s shares be transferred to the public symbolically and at a nominal price, and that a portion be held by the government for the newly born.
Karder believes that transferring shares of the National Iranian Oil Company to the public can increase public participation in the management of energy resources, contribute to greater transparency in the company’s performance and improve its financial situation.
