Dissertation Advisor: Professor Roger Owen Sreemati Mitter A History of Money in Palestine: From the 1900s to the Present Abstract How does the condition of statelessness, which is usually thought of as a political problem, affect the economic and monetary lives of ordinary people? This dissertation addresses this question by examining the economic behavior of a stateless people, the Palestinians, over a hundred year period, from the last decades of Ottoman rule in the early 1900s to the present. Through this historical narrative, it investigates what happened to the financial and economic assets of ordinary Palestinians when they were either rendered stateless overnight (as happened in 1948) or when they suffered a gradual loss of sovereignty and control over their economic lives (as happened between the early 1900s to the 1930s, or again between 1967 and the present).

  • The Banking System in Israel
    CHAPTER XIV THE BANKING SYSTEM IN ISRAEL I. DEVELOPMENT OF THE BANKING SYSTEM Israel possesses a well­developed banking system, evidenced by the fact that bank deposits constitute some 60 per cent of the money supply. Apart from one or two banks founded in the period of the Ottoman Empire (such as, for example, the Bank Leumi Le­Tsrael B.M., formerly the Anglo­Palestine Bank Ltd.), most of the banks now functioning in Israel were established during the British Mandate. During this period, some dozens of banks were founded; but the economic crises which hit Palestine during the Abyssinian War and again at the outbreak of World War II, resulted in the liquidation of many of the smaller, and the strengthening of the more solid, institutions. The Banking Ordinance, 1921, which ifxed the legal basis of bank operations, was amended several times and the changes were eventually consolidated in the Banking Ordinance, 1941, which is still in force to­day. The Ordinance provided, inter alia, that no banking business might be conducted without a permit from the High Commissioner, that the minimum approved nominal capital of a bank be £P. 50,000, the minimum paid­up capital be £P.25,000; and that all banks submit a monthly report to the Financial Secretary on their assets and liabilities. The Ordin­ ance also imposed on all banks the obligation to publish an annual balance sheet and a profit and loss account. The High Commissioner appointed a Controller of Banks and an Advisory Committee for Banking. With the creation of the State of Israel, the powers exercised by the High Commissioner under the Banking Ordinance were transferred to the Minister of Finance, and the control over banking activities was vested in the Department of Bank Control, a partofthe Ministryof Finance A new Advisory Committee for Bank­ ing was appointed by the Minister of Finance; its function was to consider problems relating to the activities of the banking system and to submit its recommendations to the Minister.

  • Domestically Owned Versus Foreign-Owned Banks in Israel
    Domestic bank intermediation: domestically owned versus foreign-owned banks in Israel David Marzuk1 1. The Israeli banking system – an overview A. The structure of the banking system and its scope of activity Israel has a highly developed banking system. At the end of June 2009, there were 23 banking corporations registered in Israel, including 14 commercial banks, two mortgage banks, two joint-service companies and five foreign banks. Despite the spate of financial deregulation in recent years, the Israeli banking sector still plays a key role in the country’s financial system and overall economy. It is also highly concentrated – the five main banking groups (Bank Hapoalim, Bank Leumi, First International Bank, Israel Discount Bank and Mizrahi-Tefahot Bank) together accounted for 94.3% of total assets as of June 2009. The two largest groups (Bank Leumi and Bank Hapoalim) accounted for almost 56.8% of total assets. The sector as a whole and the large banking groups in particular are organised around the concept of “universal” banking, in which commercial banks offer a full range of retail and corporate banking services. Those services include: mortgages, leasing and other forms of finance; brokerage in the local and foreign capital markets; underwriting and investment banking; and numerous specialised services. Furthermore, until the mid-1990s, the banking groups were deeply involved in non-financial activities. However, a law passed in 1996 forced the banks to divest their controlling stakes in non-financial companies and conglomerates (including insurance companies). This development was part of a privatisation process which was almost completed in 2005 (with the important exception of Bank Leumi).

  • Glass-Steagall: the American Nightmare That Became the Israeli Dream
    Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law Volume 9, Number 2 2004 Article 7 Glass-Steagall: The American Nightmare that Became the Israeli Dream Ehud Ofer∗ ∗ Copyright c 2004 by the authors. Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law is produced by The Berkeley Electronic Press (bepress). http://ir.lawnet.fordham.edu/jcfl GLASS-STEAGALL: THE AMERICAN NIGHTMARE THAT BECAME THE ISRAELI DREAM Ehud Ofer* INTRODUCTION This Note will examine the securities activities of banks in Israel. The relatively new legislation dealing with this aspect-Regulation of Investment Advice and Investment Portfolio Management Law (the "Law")-was enacted in 1995 as a lesson learned from the Share Regulation Affair of October 1983 (the "Share Regulation Affair" or the "Crisis of 1983"). In many ways in economic history, 1983 was for Israel what 1929 was for the United States. This Note will compare Israel's episode with the U.S. episode and will use the comparison to review the adequacy of the Israeli legislative response to the Crisis of 1983. The Law was enacted, primarily, based on American experience and legislation. This Note will compare the legislation enacted in both countries. To better understand the differences, this Note will introduce the unique financial market in Israel. Furthermore, this Note will present the recent legislative development in the United States (i.e., Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) which repealed parts of the Depression-era Glass-Steagall Act. The Note will examine the necessity of Israeli "adjustments" to the Law due to this new development. * Ehud Ofer is a graduate of the LL.M. program in Banking, Corporate and Finance Law at Fordham University School of Law.

But how much do we really know about our banknotes? Which president is on the $50 bill? Which banknote showcases the White House? Which one includes the Statue of Liberty torch? Why were the symbols chosen? What stories do they tell? Banknotes can be examined and deciphered to understand Like other commemoration the history and politics of any nation.

  • Bezeq's IPVPN Networkb in All Bank Leumi Branches
    Bezeq's IPVPN networkb in all bank Leumi branches October 9, 2005 Bezeq's IPVPN network in all bank Leumi branches In the past few days, the connection of about 250 branches of Bank Leumi to Bezeq's IPVPN and transmission networks was completed. This means that Bank Leumi provides an IPVPN network of Bezeq, secure and surviving broadband communications enabling the running of applications and transfer of content between the branches of the bank. The bank's customers are already enjoying faster and more efficient service. Broadband lines have been installed in the bank's main offices for full back-up of the computer centers, and transmission systems which are among the largest in the country have been set up. A Cisco router has been installed in every branch, and the optical infrastructure in most of the branches has been upgraded. The project, which lasted about a year, was implemented by employees from Bezeq's Engineering and Planning Division, Sales and Marketing Division and Bezeq Business Unit. The project will be extended to upgrade the entire communications array at Bank Leumi, positioning the bank as a leader in banking communications not only in Israel but worldwide. The successful completion of the project was marked by a festive ceremony attended by the heads of Bezeq and Bank Leumi. Rami Hazan, VP for Sales and Marketing, said that Bezeq's unique IPVPN service is proving to be a quality service in great demand, and since the beginning of 2004, 650 organizations and 30,000 lines have been connected. "Bezeq is the only one in Israel to offer nationwide IPVPN service, and therefore the only one who can provide organizations such as Bank Leumi with the service wherever it has a branch – be it Ofakim or Tel Aviv, the bank receives the same high quality service at all times." Hazan added that Bezeq has set up a dedicated support center for IPVPN customers, available 24/7, which is staffed by dozens of employees with computer communications qualifications and who specialize in IPVPN.

INTRODUCTION In March 2006, Israel enacted a modern and far-reaching Class Action Law1 (the “Class Action Law”) to regulate class action suits in a centralized and exhaustive manner. Prior to the law’s enactment, class actions in Israel were common in various fields,2 including banking. The basis for class actions against banks was the Banking (Service to Customer) Law (“the Banking Law”), which contained a chapter on class actions. However, the new Class Action Law abolished this chapter, as well as all other laws concerning Class Actions in different fields, and today the arrangement of class actions is concentrated in
