In June 2015, Mr. Dror Strum, IEP's CEO, was appointed as the Head of the Committee for Increasing Competition in the Israeli Banking and Financial services. The members of the Committee were all governmental agencies, including the Bank of Israel, Ministry of Finance, and the Competition Authority. The Committee's recommendations led to a structural reform and were published in September 2016 and adopted by the Knesset in the Increasing Competition and Reducing Concentration in the Banking Market Law, enacted in 2017 (also known as the Strum legislation). The recommendations were published and are available on the web (Hebrew).
