Yair Sahar said, “Moti will make an important contribution to strengthening the Israeli diamond industry, which accounts for one quarter of Israel’s industrial exports.”
Moti Besser said, “The Israel Diamond Exchange, the largest and most sophisticated bourse in the world with 3,000 members, represents a huge economic force in the Israeli economy and a leading light among the world’s diamond bourses.
“I see my participation in leading the exchange as a huge challenge, especially in light of the tough competition posed by the world’s other diamond centers.”
