a glossary of financial terms in farsi

as the financial structure of the public and private corporations in the islamic republic of iran differs from those operating in the west it appears to be a difficult task to find equivalent terminology in farsi for financial terms applied in english and french. by the same token, direct translation of the western financial jargons to farsi results in misunderstanding at hest and confusion at worst. we have asked hosien abdeh & parviz sedaghat at to examine the translation problems and provide our readers with a glossary of financial terms in farsi and their equivalents in english. the first part of their work appears in this edition. we will countinue the efforts in our subsequent issues so that a complete glossary of the iranian financial terminology will be prepared in a near future.
