Speaking at Calcalist’s National Economic Conference held in Tel Aviv Wednesday, Guetta, who assumed the position eight months ago, unveiled her strategic plan for the authority’s operations in the near future. She stated the authority will focus on five core subjects: market fairness, leveraging technology and innovation, encouraging competition among financial service providers, increasing the public accessibility of the capital market, and ensuring the capital market is supporting domestic economic growth.

One of the ways to do so is to encourage investment in national infrastructure, Guetta said, adding that in the upcoming weeks the authority will be working with several Israeli government entities to set up exchange-traded purpose-specific funds.
