As part of an economic delegation initiated by the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE), a joint event was held in London on July 6, 2026, in collaboration with Bloomberg and the Ministry of Economy Economic Mission in London, aimed at showcasing the Israeli economy to international investors.
TASE continues its efforts to enhance the visibility of Israeli public companies among foreign investors, with the goal of increasing foreign investment in Israel’s economy. These efforts have intensified following the alignment of TASE trading week with global markets to Monday–Friday, enabling improved accessibility for international investors.
As part of this initiative, TASE organizes delegations of leading listed companies, in partnership with international investment banks, to facilitate high-quality meetings with top-tier investors and strengthen business relationships. The current delegation is taking place in London in collaboration with UBS, and includes top Israeli executives - Hanan Friedman, President and CEO of Bank Leumi; Ronen Agassi, CEO of Migdal Insurance and Financial Holdings; Yossi Levy, Co-CEO of Mor Investment House; and Ron Klein, EVP and Head of the Economic Department at TASE.
The main event, held at Bloomberg’s offices in partnership with the Ministry of Economy Economic Mission in London, hosted approximately 50 senior executives, investors and policymakers from across London’s financial ecosystem. The program featured opening remarks, an economic overview by Israel’s Commercial Attaché to the UK, a fireside chat with the CEOs and a Bloomberg representative, as well as one-on-one meetings with investors.
Hanan Friedman, President and CEO of Bank Leumi: “Even in a challenging geopolitical environment, Israel continues to demonstrate resilience, innovation and strong economic fundamentals.

Within this market, and based on the industry’s competitive landscape, Migdal stands out as the Israeli insurance and financial platform with the greatest potential for growth, having increased its market value fivefold since launching an ambitious strategic plan.”
Eli Levy, Co-CEO of Mor Investment House: “As an institution managing public savings, we are proud to take part in TASE delegation of leading Israeli companies aimed at showcasing the strength of the Israeli stock market to foreign investors, and as a result, contributing to enhancing returns for the savings of the Israeli public.”
