In a groundbreaking move to align Israel's financial landscape with international norms, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich announced that the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) will transition to a Monday-to-Friday trading schedule. This historic shift, revealed during Smotrich's visit to the TASE on Monday, is poised to revolutionize Israel's capital markets and amplify its presence on the global financial stage.

A Strategic Realignment with Global Markets

Currently, TASE operates from Sunday to Thursday, a schedule that has long set it apart from major global exchanges. The change, scheduled to take effect at the start of 2026, will bring Israel's trading days into alignment with leading markets in the United States and Europe, paving the way for increased international investment.

“This is more than just a change in schedule; it’s a leap forward for Israel’s financial sector,” Smotrich declared. “Friday trading will end at 2:00 p.m. to ensure that we honor the sanctity of the Sabbath while addressing the needs of all market participants.”
