Online financial trading in Israel is not regulated by any law, which puts customers at risk of trading with unregulated and unsupervised operators. As the number of online financial services has grown significantly over the last few years, calls for regulation have been growing and in 2010 a law was approved by the Israeli Parliament. Although the legislation has not come into force yet, Dotan Baruch, Partner at Barnea & Co, discusses the proposed regulations.
