Circular No. (2007/116)

To All Banks Operating in Palestine

Date: Thursday, August 16, 2007

---

Subject: Preliminary Financial Data for Banks Listed on the Palestine Securities Exchange.

Whereas disclosing banks' financial data on time in accordance with regulations issued by the financial market is a fundamental listing requirement, particularly as its objective is to provide quarterly financial information on the performance of listed companies to financial market participants, the Palestine Monetary Authority urges banks to comply with providing the Palestine Securities Exchange Management with quarterly financial data according to the prepared forms within the periods specified in the market's regulations. Furthermore, since the Palestine Monetary Authority's approval of financial data may require additional time in some cases for regulatory reasons, the data will be published in such cases with a note indicating that these data are not yet approved by the Palestine Monetary Authority. The market will be provided with semi-annual and annual financial data immediately upon their approval by the Palestine Monetary Authority, along with a statement of the key changes between the preliminary financial data previously provided to the financial market and those approved by the Palestine Monetary Authority.
