Description:
In 1952, prime minister David Ben-Gurion convened a conference in Jerusalem of sixty Jewish-American leaders, to discuss plans for issuing State of Israel Bonds. The plan called for the raising of large sums of capital for the rapid development of an economic infrastructure for the young State. Almost a year later, at a conference of major American-Jewish organizations and communities, the first issue of the State of Israel Bonds was launched. The proceeds from the sale of Israel Bonds were used by the government to fund major development projects, such as road, rail, sea and air transport facilities, developing water supply and electric power, exploitation of natural resources and many other projects.
