TASE, short for Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, is the only stock exchange in Israel. The term "TASE" is often used colloquially to refer to the Israeli stock market system as a whole. However, there are several synonyms for TASE that are popularly used, such as Israel Stock Exchange, Tel Aviv Bourse, and Tel Aviv Securities Exchange. These different monikers all refer to the same institution, which was established in 1953 and has played a key role in driving economic growth in Israel ever since. Despite the different names, TASE remains the most commonly used term to refer to the Israeli stock exchange in everyday discourse.
