Foreign Investors

Foreign and local investors expanded their equity holdings on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in October despite political uncertainty, while corporate bond issuances reached 14.1 billion shekels and mutual fund assets climbed to 853.8 billion shekels.

Foreign residents' portfolio value on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange hit a record $154 billion at the end of June, driven by strong net purchases, rising share prices, and the shekel's strength.
