Delek Group (TASE: DLEKG, US ADR: DGRLY) (“the Company”) announces that attached is an Immediate Report published by Delek Drilling Limited Partnership (“the Partnership”) concerning the restart of the flow of natural gas from the Tamar field. Further to what was stated in the Partnership’s Immediate Report dated September 23, 2017 concerning locating a crack in the exhaust pipe used on the Tamar platform to release natural gas and pressure both in normal and emergency times (“the Fault”) while Noble Energy Mediterranean Ltd (“the Operator”) was carrying out upgrade and improvement works on the Tamar platform, the Partnership announces that this morning the flow of natural gas was recommenced from the Tamar field after the Operator had completed the repair of the fault yesterday. It should be noted that the Operator is continuing to carry out the planned upgrade works.

  • 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).
