US probable exit from JCPOA not to harm Iran bourse

Shapour Mohammadi said on Sunday that Iran's capital market is highly profitable and therefore the US probable exit from JCPOA is not a source of serious concern.

Ever since he took office as the US president in January 2017, Donald Trump has warned to walk away from Iran nuclear deal that the former US administration along with five other world powers signed with Iran in 2015.

Trump has set May 12 as the time when he will finally decide whether he will continue to respect Iran deal or walk out of it.

The effect of Trump's decision is of little significance and what determines the future of capital market is the profitability of the companies, Mohammadi said.

Noting that the Iranian economy is much stronger than before and the companies' profitability has improved compared to previous years, the official said: 'I promise that even if the US walks out of the JCPOA, we will stay by foreign investors.'
