Israeli sales continue despite delays for El Al
Article Abstract:
It seems likely that Israel will continue with its privatization programme, even though some difficulties have been encountered. It is reported that there is strong interest in the sale of Israel Foreign Risk Insurance Co, which is due to take place in the first half of 1999. A prospectus for the sale of a stake in Bank Leumi was due to be published on Sep 17, 1998. The Ministerial Committee on Privatisation has approved the sale of 49% of El Al Airlines, but this will probably not take place until towards the middle of 1999 at the earliest.

Air France minority stake to float
Article Abstract:
The French government will have to balance the opening up of Air France's capital against the need to create strategic alliances as it considers how large a stake to sell in the company. It is possible that it will sell a total of between 35% and 40%, with 30% being sold initially. There are also plans to issue a prospectus for the privatization of CIC, the banking subsidiary of insurance concern GAN, before the end of Nov 1997.
