Bank Hapoalim Worldwide Bank Hapoalim Annual Report 2005 Scoring Strategic Results 5 200 In 2005, the Bank began to vigorously pursue its long-term strategy, achieving important milestones in profitability, shareholder value, international expansion and domestic leadership. In addition to taking bold, proactive measures designed to promote its global objectives, the Bank also began to adapt and respond to a dramatically changing regulatory environment in its home market. These measures will expand, and, in certain domains, redefine the Bank’s relationships and offerings. While it is determined to adhere to disciplined implementation of measurable strategic goals, the Bank is concurrently nurturing a corporate culture that welcomes flexibility and challenge. The excellent results achieved in 2005 bode well for the continued success of the Bank’s strategic drive. 5 The Bank Hapoalim Group Major Subsidiaries & Affiliates 200 Commercial Banks(1) Financial Companies Bank Hapoalim B.M.

Los Angeles Representative Office, a California state-licensed representative office. Despite the relatively limited size of its US operations, Bank Hapoalim is subject to US resolution planning requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act because it has consolidated assets on a global basis of over $50 billion.

Based on their review of the 2014 plan, by letter dated July 24, 2015, the FDIC and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Agencies”) authorized Bank Hapoalim to file a resolution plan that focuses solely on (i) material changes to its 2014 resolution plan; (ii) any actions taken to strengthen the effectiveness of its plan; and (iii) its strategy for ensuring that the Insured Branch will be adequately protected from risks arising from the activities of Bank Hapoalim’s nonbank subsidiaries.

  • 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).

  • A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic
    A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Written by: Noam Botosh, Economist | Approved by: Ami Tzadik, Head of the Budgetary Control Department Date: February 25rd 2020 Economic Review www.knesset.gov.il/mmm Knesset Research and Information Center 1 | A Description and Analysis of the Implementation of the Concentration Law and Its Economic Impact on the Israeli Economy Summary This review was written at the request of MK Ofer Shelah, and it addresses the implementation of the Law for Promotion of Competition and Reduction of Concentration, 5774-2013 (herein, "the Concentration Law" or "the Law") and provides a preliminary analysis of the Law's impact on the Israeli economy. A Bank of Israel study from 2009 about business groups showed that, compared to other developed countries, the level of concentration in Israel is high, as reflected in the number of existing business groups, and that these groups possess high levels of financial leverage. The study suggested that this structure of business groups may constitute a risk to Israel's financial stability due to the groups' size and complexity. In October 2010, the Committee on Increasing Competitiveness in the Economy was established in order to examine general market competitiveness in Israel—mainly due to the existence of large business groups— and to recommend possible policy tools to promote market competitiveness. According to the committee's interim report, which was published in October 2011, the ownership structure of public companies in Israel is centralized, and the committee identified a phenomenon of large business groups controlling a large share of real and financial assets.

  • 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.

    Bank Hapoalim B.M., Tel-Aviv, Israel 2013 Resolution Plan – Public Section I. Executive summary – 12 C.F.R. §§ 243.8(c), 381.8(c) Bank Hapoalim is a publicly held banking corporation organized and operating under Israeli law, and subject to comprehensive supervision by the Bank of Israel. With total assets of over $100 billion,1 it is one of the largest banking groups in Israel, and conducts a variety of banking, financial and non- banking activities through over 250 offices in Israel and in more than a dozen other countries. In the United States, Bank Hapoalim owns (through PCM-HSU, a Delaware-incorporated holding company) HSUSA, a Delaware-incorporated SEC-registered broker-dealer that has offices in New York, California, and Florida. Bank Hapoalim also operates a New York state-licensed FDIC-insured branch, two New York state-licensed uninsured branches, a Florida state-licensed uninsured branch, and a California state-licensed representative office which began operations on December 16, 2013. These US operations have combined assets of approximately $9 billion. Despite the relatively limited size of its US operations, Bank Hapoalim is subject to US resolution planning requirements under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act because it has consolidated assets on a global basis of over $50 billion. However, although it is therefore classified as a foreign-based covered company subject to these requirements, Bank Hapoalim is eligible to file an abbreviated or “tailored” resolution plan by virtue of the size and structure of its US operations. In addition to being able to file a tailored plan, Bank Hapoalim also has determined, consistent with the Regulations and applicable guidance, that it has no critical operations, core business lines, or material entities that are located in the United States or conducted in whole or material part in the United States.
