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.

  • Masterscriptie Staats- En Bestuursrecht
    Masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht Het vrije mandaat: feit of fictie? Beperkingen aan fractieafsplitsingen getoetst aan het vrije mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden Auteur A. (Arie) Vonk Noordegraaf LL.B. Studentnummer 3675386 Begeleider prof. mr. R. Nehmelman Datum 22 maart 2017 Sol Iustitiae Illustra Nos - Zon der Gerechtigheid, verlicht ons 2 Voorwoord Maartensdijk, 22 maart 2017 Met het afronden van mijn masterscriptie Staats- en Bestuursrecht komt er einde aan mijn studietijd aan de Universiteit Utrecht. Ik heb de afgelopen jaren enorm veel geleerd en ook genoten van de vele juridische vraagstukken die besproken werden. Na het afronden van de bachelor Rechtsgeleerdheid met een scriptie over de vrijheid van onderwijs was de master Staats- en Bestuursrecht een voor de hand liggende keuze. De master sloot goed aan op mijn (politieke) interesses. Hoewel ik zowel het staatsrecht als het bestuursrecht bestudeerde, ligt mijn hart toch echt bij het staatsrecht. Deze scriptie is daar een bewijs van. Het is mooi om juist in dit voorjaar mijn masterscriptie af te ronden. Het jaar 2017 is in het licht van het onderwerp van deze masterscriptie namelijk een bijzonder jaar. Het is dit jaar precies honderd jaar geleden dat in 1917 het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging werd ingevoerd. Het jaar 1917 is een keerpunt in de parlementaire geschiedenis van Nederland. Enerzijds is dit het begin van de hedendaagse parlementaire democratie. Anderzijds is de invoering van het stelsel van evenredige vertegenwoordiging ook een bedreiging voor het vrije en persoonlijke mandaat van Tweede Kamerleden. De partijmacht wordt groter terwijl individuele Tweede Kamerleden ook in 2017 worden geacht zonder last te stemmen.

  • 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).

General Moshe Doyan, at microphone, delivered the principal address. A Word of introduction The relatively short period between our 69th National Convention held late last October and the present one in July was dominated by the mounting economic recession in Israel, climaxed by tense weeks of military crisis and the outbreak of the Arab-Israel war in June. Pursuit of the usual ZOA programs became subject to changes and adjust- ments. In the latter part of the season our activities took on more and more of an emergency character as our National Organization and its local Districts, in common with Zionists everywhere, rose to the mortal challenge to Israel's life and future. The ZOA undertook manifold actions in the rising crisis, both in independent initiatives and in many instances as the spearhead in joint moves with other Jewish organizations. These have been reported in some detail, in timely leader- ship bulletins and in our publications. It was unavoidable that such developments should affect our overall pro- grams, both here and in Israel, threatening cancellation of our Convention. The victory of Israel's forces has brought in its wake the restoration of travel and allowed resumption of interrupted plans for our 70th Jubilee Convention. The reports on the following pages have been prepared under the impact of the epic achievement of Israeli arms shadowed by the peace-making task ahead with all its uncertainties and menaces.
