I'm sure we're all anxiously watching events in S. Africa in the hope that the transition will be as peaceful as possible. Of course events in the north over the past week also add to one's daily worries. A bit difficult to talk about holidays and having a good time under such circumstances, but 1 suppose life must carry on and maybe "dafka" because of the daily strain you owe it to yourself to take a break every now and then!!! After the few blasts in Turkey, there has been a definite drop off in interest. The best deals are still to be had to Antalya, Marmaris etc. where a week's package H/Board can be had for approx. $585.- II! The Greek Islands of Rhodes, Crete, Samos, Santorini and Corfu are all being serviced by direct charter flights this summer with packages from $650 - $990 depending on type of hotel etc. With El-Al starting direct flights to Paphos in Cyprus its also become very popular this year with very inexpensive 3 nite 4 nite or 7 nite packages at beautiful hotels. All the above should carry on until the middle of October. SAA announced this week that as of beginning of September they are starting to fly twice a week to Jhb — on Monday and Wednesday, both flights in a 767.

  • 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.

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
