MAYA also has a Twitter account and an app.The English version was created with an eye toward foreign investors and includes a corporate fact sheet for each company including its area of activity, principal shareholders, corporate securities and financial performance. At the moment, TASE reports only 7% of the total investors in it live outside the country. At the moment, MAYA includes 54 companies with a combined market cap (total value of all the shares) of NIS 280 billion.
