Palestinian bourse takes to the road

The Palestinian Securities Exchange has launched a drive to attract more capital from foreign investors and raise the international profile of what remains one of the smallest stock markets in the Arab world.

The campaign is aimed primarily at Palestinian diaspora communities around the world and Gulf investors.

Both groups enjoy close economic ties with the Palestinian territories, and PSE executives hope they can be persuaded to deepen their commitment by investing in companies listed on the West Bank-based exchange.
