In the Israeli capital market , the number of companies carrying out an IPO on TASE continued to rise in the first half of 2021 ( 63 companies ) of all sectors that are traded on TASE . Since the beginning of the year , the value of the assets traded on TASE has risen and the average trading volume in the first half of 2021 remained similar to the average trading volumes in all year of 2020 , as opposed to the high trading volumes and the strong fluctuations in the value of the assets in the first half of 2020 , on the backdrop of the uncertainty that prevailed in the market at the time following the coronavirus outbreak in Israel . The increase in morbidity rates that started at the end of the second quarter of 2021 did not materially affect the aforementioned trends concerning the value of the assets traded on TASE and the trading volumes . Additionally , to the date of publishing of the financial statements , in view of the continued rise in morbidity rates in August , the Government approved the return of some of the restrictions that were lifted during the second quarter of 2021 . Nevertheless , based on the nature of trading in the first half of 2021 , the Company believes that , to the extent that the rise in morbidity is short in term and will not entail the imposition of additional restrictions on the economy , no material adverse effect on the activity of the Company is expected . 1.1 Highlights of TASE's Results for the second quarter of 2021 TASE revenues amounted to NIS 84.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 , an increase of 15 % compared to the corresponding quarter last year , due mainly to an increase in revenue other than from trading and clearing and a non - recurring income from the Ministry of Finance in respect of the listing fee , until December 31 , 2020 , of Governmental bonds in an amount of NIS 3.8 million . ■ ■ Adjusted EBITDA increased in the second quarter of 2021 to NIS 26.2 million , compared to NIS 21.0 million in the corresponding quarter last year , an increase of 25 % .
