This morning, Israel Railways' management opened trading day on Platform 6 at the Savidor train station, in celebration of the company's bond issue.
Boaz Tzafrir, CEO of Israel Railways, said: "The bond issue is a constitutive event for Israel Railways, being an additional and important tier in the cultural and managerial change process, a material stage of our being a social economic company conducting itself in full transparency vis-à-vis the public of customers and investors, and aspiring for constant improvement".
Amnon Neubach, Chairman of the Board of TASE, said: "I hope that the locomotive that left the train station this morning will motivate additional government corporations to follow in its footsteps with issues at the Exchange, for the benefit of the public of investors, companies and its employees, increasing trading volumes and bringing growth to the entire economy".
Hani Shitrit-Bach, Senior VP and Head of Economics Department of TASE, said: "We hope that the bond issue is only the preview for a stock offering on the Exchange, and that the warm welcome you have received from the institutional investors and the public has convinced you that you belong with the Exchange, for the benefit of Israel Railways and for the benefit of the employees and for the benefit of the investors' public".
