Historical NoteReturn to Top
From its launching in 1951 and continuing through the present day, Israel Bonds has played a unique role in Israel’s rapid progression from struggling agrarian nation to global economic powerhouse.
Proceeds realized through the sale of Israel bonds have helped cultivate the desert, build transportation networks, create new industries, resettle immigrants, and increase export capability. Today, investing in Israel bonds supports a nation of extraordinary innovation that continues to push the boundaries of modern technology.
Since the birth of Israel Bonds in a crowded conference room in Jerusalem's King David Hotel, the organization's ensuing success has been remarkable –securing worldwide sales over $34 billion; facilitating the rapid development of Israel's economy; and building a global partnership with Israel.
Israel bonds are securities issued by the government of Israel. Israel Bonds is also the more familiar name of the Development Corporation for Israel (DCI)-a FINRA member broker/dealer, the underwriter for the bonds. Israel bonds can be found in the portfolios of an impressive array of investors, including state and municipal governments, national and local unions, universities, foundations, corporations, and financial institutions. Worldwide Israel bond sales to date are over $34 billion. ( israelbonds.com )
