Tel Aviv Stock Exchange: Making The Capital Market Accessible To The Public

Date 31/05/2023

TASE posts today (31.05.23) for public comments a proposal for the reduction of the minimum order size in bonds and T-bills, this as part of TASE’s strategy of making the capital market accessible to the public and removing barriers for the benefit of retail investors and the general public. The minimum order size determines the minimum quantity that can be included in an order submitted to TASE during the continuous trading phase. As previously published, a year ago the minimum order size in the equity market was reduced from NIS 2,000 to NIS 500 and for shares included in the TA-35 Index from NIS 5,000 to NIS 500. This move has significantly increased the number of transactions and the trading volumes deriving from “small” orders, particularly by the public (more on that below).
