The job in brief
The Bank of Israel's official recruitment portal lists an "economist / regulator in the Compliance Section, Regulation Unit, Policy and Regulation Department, Banking Supervision Division" role (job no. 5324, external tender) in Tel Aviv. The work includes setting the directives that apply to the banking system on anti-money-laundering and counter-terror financing, supporting legislative processes, studying and analysing regulation in Israel and abroad, analysing trends in banking, digitisation, payments and clearing, and writing position papers. Application deadline: 25.10.2026.
The profession
A regulatory economist turns economic and legal insight into directives that bind the whole banking system. It is a separate professional path from capital-market or research work: whoever chooses it works with banks, regulators and legislators and writes position papers that shape the rules of the game.
Per public salary guides (study.co.il, AllJobs) a starting economist earns around NIS 11,000-12,000 a month, and in the civil service roughly NIS 10,000 to 20,000. The Bank of Israel posting states no salary, so we have no verified range for this exact role.
By the numbers
About the institution
The Bank of Israel is the central bank of the State of Israel, established in 1954. It sets the interest rate, works to keep prices and the financial system stable, manages the state's foreign-exchange reserves and supervises the banks through its Banking Supervision Division. Unlike a commercial company it is not traded on the stock exchange, so it has no share or revenue chart - it is an independent public institution.
In Israel and abroad
Like other central banks, the Bank of Israel cooperates with international bodies and tracks regulation and policy decisions around the world. In roles like these, looking at markets and regulation beyond Israel's borders is part of the daily work.
How the role works
Setting the rules the banks work by - economics, law and regulation in one place.
According to the posting, the work includes drafting and updating proper-banking-conduct directives and professional interpretation of them, supporting legislation, helping shape supervision policy, writing position papers and presenting topics in Banking Supervision and Bank of Israel forums, plus meetings with senior figures in the banking system. Hiring is by external tender, and candidates will have to pass tests.
Who it is for
For someone with a recognised academic degree in economics, law or business administration (or who passed the Israeli CPA council exams, or holds another relevant degree), with good written and oral expression, full command of Hebrew and good English. Regulatory experience, an outstanding degree, a lawyer's licence and familiarity with the banking system are an advantage, not a threshold requirement.
An honest status
The posting does not require prior experience as a threshold, so the role also suits someone who has just finished a degree, but it is a tender role with exams, and the occupation and grade are set by the candidate's skills. The portal shows a deadline but no posting date; we saw the role open on 20.10.2026, and its number (5324) is among the highest in the list, a sign of a recent opening. The deadline is close (5 days), so apply soon.
