Finance Committee (Israel)

The Finance Committee (Hebrew: ועדת הכספים) is a permanent Knesset committee which oversees finance issues of the State of Israel, including the drafting of legislation, supervision over related government ministries and the approval of their budgets. It is regarded as one of two most important Knesset committees (the other being the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee). Article 100(2) of the Knesset's Rules of Procedure states that its areas of concern are "the state budget; taxes of all kinds; customs and excise duties; loans; currency and foreign exchange matters; banking and banknotes; state revenues and expenditures."
