“The increase in initial public offerings in the Israeli capital market stems from the fact that high tech companies have finally found their home,” said Chairwoman of the Israel Securities Authority Anat Guetta to Calcalist’s Yarden Rozanski, during Calcalist’s Investment Conference.
“The phenomenon of having many IPOs in public capital markets isn’t unique to Israel,” Guetta said, adding that “we’re seeing that capital markets in general are flourishing during this period.” Chairwoman of the Israel Securities Authority Anat Guetta. Photo: Inbal Marmari
Guetta believes that what’s happening in Israel is unusual, but in a good way. “The special thing that is happening here,” she said, “is unprecedented in scope. Many tech companies are discovering that Tel Aviv is a destination for their capital financing. It’s something that hasn’t happened for many years, maybe ever,” she said.
