The idea of creating the “Khatam Dictionary of Finance and Economics” took shape in 2020, with the goal of providing a comprehensive and reliable reference in Persian for concepts and terminologies in the fields of finance, economics, banking, and accounting.

This initiative, which stemmed from years of experience in teaching specialized banking English, was transformed into a long-term scientific project with the support and collaboration of the President of Khatam University, along with its managers and faculty members.

A team consisting of specialists and professors in economics, finance, banking, and accounting was formed, and the process of collecting, translating, scientifically reviewing, and editing the Dictionary’s entries began. From the very outset, the main focus was on developing an online version of the Dictionary to provide a dynamic and accessible platform for students, researchers, and enthusiasts.

Along the way, in addition to utilizing existing dictionaries and scientific sources, we concentrated on Investopedia, striving to offer for each concept a clear, practical explanation—beyond a mere lexical equivalent—and presented in a localized manner.

Today, the Khatam University Financial and Economic Dictionary is the result of the dedication, cooperation, and perseverance of a group of university professors, researchers, editors, and technical colleagues. It was developed with the aim of expanding specialized knowledge in Persian. Alongside the online version, the publication of its printed edition in several volumes is also underway.

This Dictionary tells the story of the collective effort of a group of specialists and academics who believe that access to specialized knowledge in Persian is an effective step toward the scientific development of the country and strengthening the connection between knowledge, education, and professional practice
