The U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission published remarks by Chairman Paul S. Atkins at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, welcoming the exchange’s shift to a Monday through Friday trading week as a step that aligns Israel’s capital markets more closely with global counterparts. Atkins said the change could enhance liquidity, encourage greater investment, and signal that Israel is open for business, while urging the exchange to preserve the distinctive strengths of Israel’s markets and innovation ecosystem. He also highlighted Israel’s market and economic performance during wartime conditions and pointed to shared U.S.-Israel support for free enterprise and fair and efficient markets, arguing this foundation should deepen cooperation between the two countries’ markets.
