It's shorthand for 'International Depository Receipt'. A receipt is issued by a Bank as evidence of ownership of one or more shares of the underlying stock in a foreign company that the Bank holds in trust. The advantage of the IDR structure is that the company does not have to comply with all the licensing requirements of the foreign country where the stock must be traded. The American version of the IDR is the American deposit receipt (ADR).
