Note: In order to facilitate the issue of new debt issues, apparaently both tradable and nontradable, in Europe the Israeli government developed the Euro Medium Term Programme. The purpose of this program is to standarize the terms on which issuers issue securities and thus minimize the documentation and the time required for their issue. "This [procedure] reflects the ability and desire of the market to respond quickly to borrowing reqirements. The State of Israel has a $2,000,000,000 EMTN Programme and has already used about $1.1 billion of this sum." A copy of the prospectus (pdf document - 490KB) arranged by Merrill Lynch International is available on the Israeli government's Ministry of Finance website. EARTH's copy is available on request. The designated dealers are Daiwa Securities SMBC Europe Ltd., Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs International, Merrill Lynch International, Morgan Stanley, and UBS Warburg.

Note 2: In
this context the term portfolio managers can be replaced with
the term
institutional investors with no loss of meaning. In
fact any
private financial institutions, other than banks and insurance
companies, that engage in investment activity and are selected by an
Israeli bond organization for placement would be appropriate here. |
