Industry and Mine (BIM), as the first state bank to have successfully
transferred the subsidiary companies under its cover to the private sector.
According to the BIM news website, Karbasian, in a letter sent to the BIM

good example whereby the BIM managed to trade its shares at a suitable
price.
Also, Shariatmadari in a letter to the BIM CEO noted: “The Bank of Industry
and Mine, as the first state bank, and thanks to the support of his ministry
and based on sound planning, professional valuation and through legal
formalities offered 51 percent of the BIM Investment Company shares under
the Securities and Exchange Organization symbol of ‘vasanaat’ at a value of
4,360 billion rials on February 13, 2018.”
The minister further emphasized: “At the time of declaring the transfer of
the shares of the BIM Investment Company the table showed 1,130 rials, which
by considering the basic price per share of 1,900 rials, it was traded about
68% higher than the price (slightly above NAV)”.
The Bank of Industry and Mine on Feb. 13 traded its 51 percent stake in
Industry and Mining Investment Company in Tehran Stock Exchange, marking a
successful beginning for transfer of shares of the banks owning enterprises.
