After the decision of the First International Bank of Israel (First International Bank of Israel, FIBI ) to tighten their lending standards for the diamond industry The Israel Diamond Exchange (Israel Diamond Exchange, IDE) has promised to challenge the decision, according to a report published Rapaport Agency.
In connection with the introduction of FIBI Bank increased requirements for collateral when lending to the diamond industry IDE President Yoram u'Dvash (Yoram Dvash) sent a letter to members of the stock exchange, which has promised to lobby the public authorities and to convince the bank to withdraw.
In his letter u'Dvash notes: «FIBI changed its policy, but what is worse, from our point of view, is the fact that it was pressured by the department for supervision of banks in the Bank of Israel (Bank of Israel). You can not give it a unilateral decision to establish itself without a fight. All bank executives and regulators know that diamantaires are a vital part of the Israeli industry and important for the country's banks. Our business is stable and well-proven, and no relationship or programs directed against him, will not create an adverse situation for us. "
IDE plans to hold an emergency meeting after the summer holidays this month, when the market will reopen on August 28. IDE also intends to invite public figures from politics and business to participate in the discussion of this problem.
