With its headquarters based in Ramallah, CFI Palestine aims to bring about changes in the current online trading dynamics of the country. It plans to provide platforms and resources for traders to connect with local and global markets.

"I extend my gratitude to the regulatory authorities and local partners who have played a vital role in facilitating our entry into this market," Hisham added.

As the landscape of online trading evolves, CFI's move to set roots in Palestine could signify a strategic direction for the firm, especially in its endeavors in the MENA region.

In line with this, Sami Shraim, the CEO of CFI Palestine, pointed out the subsidiary's commitment to deliver a contemporary trading platform. "Our goal is to empower traders with a seamless and cutting-edge trading experience while adhering to the highest standards of compliance and customer service," he stated.

Based on the latest Q1 2023 financial data, CFI Financial experienced remarkable upticks across primary indicators. The document revealed a spike of 57% in CFI Financial's trading volumes in the initial quarter of 2023 compared to the previous year's corresponding period.
