โญ๏ธ Israelโs banking regulator announced that it is too early to authorize commercial banks to increase dividend distributions, citing persistent economic uncertainty linked to Israel's brutal war on Gaza.
Following the start of Israel's war in October 2023, the central bank initially instructed banks to suspend significant payouts to ensure sufficient credit availability. In response, banks scaled back dividends to 15โ20% of their quarterly net profits, down from up to 50% before the war.
They have since received approval to raise this figure to 40%, with most banks distributing 30% of net profit as dividends and allocating another 10% toward share buybacks.
