RAMALLAH, December 3, 2025 (WAFA) – The Palestine Exchange (PEX) announced on Wednesday the launch of its fully integrated electronic systems - a significant step toward establishing a completely modernized infrastructure for the Palestinian capital market sector.
This new system encompasses all electronic operating platforms used within the sector, including the trading system developed by Nasdaq, the Central Depository and Settlement System (CDS) developed by Avenir, and the Order Management System (OMS) developed by Manaf. It also includes the aDTP platform for disclosures and employee management, in addition to a newly designed, user-friendly corporate website with a modern interface developed by Tritecs.
The Exchange has been keen to select the most advanced systems from world-class developers with extensive experience serving leading global stock exchanges. These new technologies deliver innovative services to investors and listed public shareholding companies, enabling PEX to meet both current and future market needs in line with its strategic vision to introduce additional financial instruments and services.
On the sidelines of the launch ceremony held under the patronage of the Palestine Capital Market Authority at its headquarters in Ramallah - Rula Shunnar, Chairperson of the Palestine Exchange Board of Directors, stated: “We are committed to strengthening investor and shareholder confidence in the Palestinian financial market, placing this goal at the forefront of our priorities by upgrading and modernizing our digital infrastructure in alignment with the latest global capital-market standards.”
“We continue to invest, adapt, and advance in order to compete with regional and international markets, achieving an annual return exceeding 6%, a reflection of the resilience and strength of our market in all its components. The Exchange calls on both local and foreign investors to direct their investments toward Palestine, which has proven to be a stable, attractive environment capable of delivering remarkable returns,” she added.
Shunnar also praised the efforts of all parties involved, particularly the Palestine Capital Market Authority, as well as the collaboration with brokers and listed companies. She emphasized that this joint effort has enabled the achievement of this significant national milestone - a qualitative leap in the technological and regulatory development of the Palestinian capital market.
The Chairman of the Palestine Capital Market Authority, Ammar Al-Aker, stated that the non-banking financial sector -like the rest of the world- stands on the edge of a rapidly evolving technological revolution. Keeping pace with this evolution is no longer optional, he explained, but essential to ensure the continuity and effectiveness of the financial market.
He added that the launch of the new systems represents a practical implementation of technological advancement and a significant enhancement of market performance, laying a solid foundation for the operational future of the Stock Exchange’s infrastructure.
Al-Aker also noted that this step aligns with the PCMA’s vision of developing the financial market by providing a modern and efficient trading environment, an integrated ecosystem for depository, custodial, and settlement operations, and a supportive foundation for disclosure processes.
