| Summary: | A detailed assessment of Israel's compliance with the Basel Core Principles for effective banking supervision is presented. The Bachar reform that has been started in mid-2005 forced banks to divest most noncommercial banking activities, such as mutual funds, insurance, pension, and provident funds; the banks today focus on traditional banking business.

The Bank of Israel and specifically its Banking Supervision Department supervises banks. |
