Ittai Ben Zeev, CEO of TASE said: “The next five years are a critical window of opportunity for TASE to play an active role in the technological revolution of the global capital markets; the plan anticipates the needs of the market and takes the development and management of innovative services and products to the next level.”

To implement the new strategy, TASE will embark on a restructuring. The new structure will consist of a holding company with several subsidiaries (both existing subsidiaries and subsidiaries that will be established to further the goals of the plan).

TASE has also adopted a target of revenue CAGR from organic growth of 10%-12% over the next five years.

The exchange said it had taken a host of factors into account for formulating the plan, including “digital innovation trends that blur the borders between the regulated capital markets and the alternative markets, changes in local regulation and a rising interest environment that affects liquidity and investors’ preferences.”

TASE intends to examine multiple potential action plans, including conversion of existing infrastructure to innovative technologies, deployment of innovative technologies into specialized platforms, offering a basket of services and products for digital assets and more.”
