The trading symbol of Mellat Investment Bank (MIB) was upgraded from second market board of the stock exchange to the first (main) board. That is, MIB is now the first and only active investment bank on the first market board.
Having an initial public offering of 13% of its shares in March 2020, MIB was the 536th company listed in the secondary market of Tehran Stock Exchange, initiating as “TMLT1.” Less than 19 months later, today, MIB was upgraded and transferred to the first market board.
