Foreign investors are not under any obligation to receive prior authorisation from the Government, except for regulated industries (such as banking) or to register, except if the company wants to benefit from certain advantages. Investments in certain sectors may require a government license.
In October 2019, the Israeli government established a centralized investment screening mechanism for certain inbound foreign investments. Such mechanism applies to investments in regulated industries (like banking and insurance), which have to obtain approval by the relevant regulator.
