The proportion of real estate companies in key Tel Aviv Stock Exchange indices has decreased in recent years. This decline is attributed primarily to the rise of artificial intelligence and the growth of technology and energy stocks. Despite this trend, Israelis remain exposed to real estate investments through their pension funds and provident funds.
