Bank of Israel to change banking supervision department around
Chris Hamblin, Editor, London, 16 October 2015
In the coming weeks, several changes will be made to the way in which the Bank of Israel's banking supervision department is managed.
Mr Hanoch Landau, the Deputy Supervisor of Banks and Head of the On-Site Division, will retire from the Bank of Israel; Mr Or Sofer, the Deputy Supervisor of Banks and Head of the Policy and Regulation Division, will replace Landau as Head of the On-Site Division; and Mr Tsuriel Tamam, the Deputy Supervisor of Banks and Head of the Off-Site Evaluation Division, will step down from his position at the Banking Supervision Department and will take on the job of Head of the Business Sector in the Credit Database national project.
Mr Hanoch Landau, Deputy Supervisor of Banks and in charge of the Banking Supervision Department’s On-Site Division, will step down from his role at the Banking Supervision Department this month, ready to retire altogether from the Bank of Israel. Landau began his career at the Bank in 1972.
At the same time, the Supervisor of Banks has decided to move the Financial Reporting Unit, headed by Ido Galil, from the Policy and Regulation Division to the On-Site Division.
