Companies Law (Amendment – Publication of a Monopoly's Financial Statements) Bill

Translated from Hebrew: הצעת חוק החברות (תיקון - פרסום דוחות כספיים של מונופול)

TL;DRA requirement for companies holding a monopoly to publish financial statements to the public on their website and by notice in a newspaper.

Translated from Hebrew

What does the bill do?

The proposal would amend the Companies Law (1999) and the Restrictive Trade Practices Law (1988) to require a company that holds a monopoly, and is not a reporting corporation, to publish financial statements to the public. Publication will be on the company's website and by notice in a newspaper, as detailed in the Securities Law (1968). The proposal aims to enable the public and the media to scrutinize the financial conduct and business behavior of monopolistic companies, to protect the public and consumer interest.
