The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Presents: "Global View -- The TASE Global Exhibition".

The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange's "Global View" Exhibition, featuring 100 globes will be displayed on Rothschild Blvd., in Tel-Aviv. First time ever, three foreign exchanges -- the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) -- will take part in such an event in Israel.

TEL AVIV, Israel -- The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) is opening the "Global View," exhibiting artistically designed globes along Rothschild Blvd. The three leading international stock exchanges: the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), NASDAQ, and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) join Israel's 100 leading companies listed on the TASE in this venue. Each participant is exhibiting a globe designed specifically to express the company's concept of globalization.

IDB, Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, Cellcom, Partner, and Strauss-Group are some of the listed Israeli companies participating in the "Global View" exhibition; in addition to the international stock exchanges, foreign members of the TASE such as Citigroup, UBS, and Deutsche Bank will also feature.

The exhibition's curators are Doron Pollack and Esti Drori. The globes were designed by Israeli artists and each globe represents the concept and vision of the company regarding the current globalization atmosphere.

The TASE plays a major role in leading Israel's capital market into the era of globalization. Foreign investment has been continually increasing, along with the rapid growth and the stability of the Israeli economy over the past few years.

"The Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange sees great importance in taking part in the process of globalization," stated Ester Levanon, C.E.O. "Our goal is to expose the stock exchange and the companies traded therein to foreign investors, in order to attract international financial institutions to invest in Israel. Pursuant to this process, the TASE maintains close working relations with leading stock exchanges around the world. Early this year we signed our first MOU with the London Stock Exchange. Moreover, the TASE has been holding international investors conferences in London and New York, at which Israel's leading companies have had the opportunity to present themselves."

"Most of the Israeli public invests through the TASE, either directly or indirectly through provident funds, pension funds and insurance policies. The TASE considers it extremely important to carry on an open dialogue with the public," explains Ronit Harel Ben - Ze'ev, Senior Vice President & Head of the Economics Department. "I believe that this activity, alongside other TASE initiatives over the years, will contribute greatly to boast the exchange's status as a prominent institution in Israel and familiarize the stock exchange with the general public."

The exhibition on Rothschild Blvd will be open to the public on September 24, 2007 and will run for six weeks. Most of the globes will be illuminated after sunset. On Fridays, exciting artistic and musical happenings will take place -- for more details please visit the exhibition site at http://globe.tase.co.il.
