The Securities Sector in Palestine consists of the Palestine Exchange, the Depository and Transfer Center, listed public shareholding companies, licensed brokerage firms, and licensed legal entities and natural persons practicing financial professions.
The Palestine Exchange concluded its trading activities for the year 2024, a year that, in all its phases, represented an exceptional situation that cast a shadow over investor activity. It was one of the most difficult years experienced by the securities sector and the Palestinian economy as a whole. This was affirmed by the data provided by the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics regarding the outcomes of 2024 and the forecasts for the upcoming year, 2025, which pointed to a complete collapse of the economic system in the Gaza Strip and a sharp decline in the productive base in the northern governorates, accompanied by a steep rise in unemployment rates.
