I propose to take Questions Nos. 189 and 192 together.

The NTMA has informed me that Sovereign Bonds are a key part of any large globally diversified portfolio. Details of ISIF’s direct holdings are published annually in the NTMA Annual Report. The latest published version for the year ended 2023 showed the following direct holdings of Israeli government bonds:

Nominal Security Description €m ISIN
450,000 Israel Government 0.100% 11/30/2031 0.11 IL0011722209
1,500,000 Israel Government 0.500% 05/31/2029 0.40 IL0011570236
