Israeli Banks Are MORE Than Weathering the Economic Storm

Written by Marty Roberts on February 25, 2010 – 2:19 pm -

Housing one of the top 25 banks in the world is no small feat for a tiny country of 7 million in a perpetual state of war with its neighbors. More evidence that someone is doing something right running the State of Israel. More reasons for you to “come home”, my fellow Jews…
Mizrachi Tefachot Bank



Israel gets representation on list of best banks

Mizrahi-Tefahot on list of 25 best banks in 2010 in developed markets put out by Global Finance magazine. Israeli bank ranked among financial heavy-hitters J.P. Morgan, Credit Suisse, and HSBC

Y-Net


The international magazine Global Finance chose Mizrahi Tefahot as the “Bank of the Year in Israel.” An article published over the weekend highlighted a list of 25 banks chosen as the best for 2010 in developed markets.

The list included leading banks in the world from North America, Europe, Asia and the Middle East.

According to Global Finance, the banks chosen were the ones who attended to their customers’ needs with caution and responsibility during a period of “difficult markets,” and who reached the highest results while laying the foundations for their future success.

The magazine’s editors noted that the banks were chosen both by objective, quantitative criteria – such as growth in assets, profitability, geographic reach, strategic relationships, new business development, innovation and the banks’ ability to conduct and fund themselves in the current environment – and by subjective criteria – such as extensive consultations with bankers, corporatists and equity and credit analysts.

The magazine report noted: “The mix of these factors yields leading banks that may not be the largest, the oldest or the most diversified in a given country, but rather the best — the banks with which corporations around the world would most likely want to do business.”

“We recognize these banks for their outstanding accomplishments,” said Global Finance’s publisher, Joseph D. Giarraputo. “Global financial markets are extremely difficult and conditions in each market may have differed but the winning banks were all noteworthy in their dedication to satisfying their customers’ needs.”

Other banks recognized on the 2010 list include J.P. Morgan, HSBC, Royal Bank of Canada, and Credit Suisse.

Don’t Worry–There’s More Coming Soon

Written by Marty Roberts on April 21, 2006 – 10:20 am -

We’re still finishing up with the celebration of the Passover Holiday, complete with out of town guests.

The grand finale will be this Sabbath weekend, as we celebrate our yougest son’s Bar-Mitzvah.

His whole class will be engaging in paintball warfare , teenage boys and girls alike, the inevitable cease-fire culminating in grilled burgers and “chips”, to be devoured on the battlefields of our local kibbutz.

Go, Blue Team.

I will be back, G-d willing, with LOTS more to say, early next week.

Shabbat Shalom
