46 BUSINESS STRUCTURE 4.3. INSURANCE, CREDIT AND CAPITAL MARKET REFORM In April 2004, the Finance Minister appointed an Inter-Ministerial Committee to study recommendations on steps to be taken for establishing an efficient and competitive capital market in Israel. The Committee published its report on September 2004. The report was approved by the Government in November (with minor changes), and enacted as legislation by the Israeli Parliament on July 25, 2005. The creation of a competitive capital market is based on three main processes: ♦ Enhancing competition in managing the public’s financial assets, by developing alternative investment channels to those offered by the banks, and decentralizing management of existing ones. ♦ Enhancing competition in granting credit - by developing non-banking credit instruments. ♦ Enhancing competition vis-a-vis the household sector - by exposing households to alternative systems of credit suppliers and exploring measures to facilitate switching from one bank to another.
