| General |
| 1 |
|
The format adopted in this publication gives the main data relating to banks’ activities on one page, to enable their profitability, balance-sheet balances, financial ratios and main development trends for the relevant period to be reviewed at a glance. |
| |
This is not intended to make a thorough reading of the financial statements unnecessary, as a banking corporation’s activities may include very significant data or events which are not reflected in this format. |
| 2 |
|
All the data are included explicitly in the financial statements, or can be derived from them via simple calculations, as will be explained below. |
| Presentation of the data |
| 3 |
|
The data are divided into two groups according to the basis of their published financial statements, i.e., |
| |
- data on a consolidated basis |
| |
- data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated). |
| |
For a banking corporation which published data on a consolidated basis, no data on an individual bank basis (unconsolidated) are shown. |
| Ending of inflation adjustment of financial statements |
| 4 |
|

5.1.2 |
|
Banks whose data are shown on a consolidated basis are included in the whole system on a consolidated basis, and those whose data are shown on an individual bank basis are included in the whole system on an individual bank basis. |
| |
|
|
|
5.1.3 |
|
Data relating to banks and mortgage banks not included in the list in subsection 5.1.1 above will not be totaled for the calculation of the total banking system because their parent bank is shown on a consolidated basis so that they are included indirectly. |
| |
|
|
|
5.1.4 |
|
Data relating to banks and mortgage banks not included in the list in subsection 5.1.1 above are also published in this publication, including their share in the total system. |
| |
|
|
|
5.1.5 |
|
The item Total Banking System does not include the financial institution: "Hesech", and his share in the banking system is not calculated. |
| |
|
|
|
5.1.6 |
|
The share of the bank or banking group in the summary profit and loss statement is calculated only for banks showing a profit, as the concept of the share in profit has no meaning in the case of a bank making a loss. In calculating the total profit of the banking system (in the denominator) only banks making a profit are taken into account. In the figures for the total banking system, however, losses are also taken into account. |
| |
|
|
|
5.1.7 |
|
In the items Cash and deposits in banks and Deposits from banks the figure is calculated for the whole banking system (on a consolidated basis) after offsetting deposits of banks in other banks in the same group. For the parent bank of a banking group(and appearing in the list in section 5.1.1 above)the share of the banking group or bank in these items is calculated as the share of this total. In contrast, for every bank belonging to a banking group (and not appearing in the list in section 5.1.1 above) the share of the banking group or bank in these items in the whole banking system is calculated on a bank basis (not offset). |
| |
|
|

| |
|
