Abstract
- Isareli banks have seen a rise in profit and have benefited from expansion into non-banking areas such as stock broking. This looks set to change due to legislation which imposes divestment of non-financial assets by banks. Further legislation is scheduled that will reduce the role of banks in the capital market. Bank Hapoalim, the most profitable Israeli bank in 1995, is especially likely to be affected by these changes. Foreign competition could also become a problem for Israeli banks.
