With the Exchange first opening for business in October 1998, TISE will be marking its silver anniversary through a series of initiatives during 2023. It was recently announced that despite the difficult macro-economic environment, 2022 was the second-best year for new listings in the Exchange’s history, with the 956 new listings last year only surpassed by the record 1,111 new listings during 2021. This contributed to TISE entering its anniversary year with a record total of 4,020 listings on its market, which is more than at any other time since the Exchange’s inception.
