Additionally, trading volumes in TASE's equity market surged by an astounding 92%, leading to NIS 5.6 billion in trading transactions during Q1.

New Companies and Market Expansion

As TASE continues to attract investment, eight new companies made their initial public offerings (IPOs) during the quarter, generating a total of NIS 1.9 billion. This not only underscores the positive sentiment among new investors but also reflects TASE's commitment to expanding its market offerings.

CEO Ittai Ben Zeev emphasized the critical role of aligning TASE with international standards, particularly with the transition to a Monday-Friday trading week, which opens new opportunities for local business engagement. Moreover, the strategy of taking a dual approach to investor relations—offering reports in both English and Hebrew—aims to enhance foreign investor participation, showcasing the strengths of the Israeli market globally.
