TEL AVIV, Israel, July 2, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The TASE analysis project was launched in 2016 in order to raise investors' awareness to TASE-listed technology and life-science companies and the markets in which these companies operate, thus creating appropriate pricing and increasing the exposure of investors from Israel and abroad. Its goal is to encourage investments in these companies by improving understanding of these industries and companies in the market.
In order to maintain professional, independent and unbiased analysis, the companies signed an agreement with the TASE to receive the analysis services for an obligatory period of two years. The companies cannot withdraw from the project during this period. The analysis is funded by the companies surveyed with funding from the Chief Scientist and the TASE.
Summary of Highlights:
On 30 April 2018, the Polish Power Exchange published new indices for green certificates traded on the Property Rights Market.
- The aim of the changes is to account for significant increases, both to date and in the future of IPPs active in the Polish Renewable Energy market and accordingly, in the increased trading volume of green certificates.
- The changes have resulted in increased market volatility with a general upwards trend line.
