Transparency & Efficiency: National Pension Fund Launches Property Registry System
In a move to enhance transparency, Hojjatollah Mirzaei, head of Iran’s National Pension Fund, announced the launch of a comprehensive real estate registry system. The platform ensures full visibility into property records—including size, value, legal disputes, and maintenance costs—for all stakeholders, including pensioners, contributors, and regulatory bodies.
So far, data from over 2,050 properties owned by the fund and its subsidiaries has been uploaded, streamlining oversight and accountability.
Strengthening Ties with Parliament & Serving Pensioners
Mirzaei emphasized the fund’s strong collaboration with the Islamic Consultative Assembly (Majlis), noting that 120 MPs have engaged directly with the fund’s leadership. He dismissed rumors as distractions, reaffirming the fund’s mission: “Our duty is to serve pensioners and safeguard their rights, regardless of tenure.”
