Who We Are

State of Israel Bonds is an organization whose sole purpose is to sell bonds and notes for the Israeli Ministry of Finance.

Israel Bonds are securities issued by the State of Israel to help build the nation's infrastructure.

Israel Bonds are backed by the full faith and credit of the Government of Israel, which has maintained a perfect record of repayment of interest and principal since the first bond was issued.

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.
