En el Ministerio de Finanzas evalúan un paquete de ayuda para exportadores ante el dólar débil. Sobre la mesa: subvenciones y aplazamiento de impuestos

Valoración

The Finance Ministry's accelerated talks on an exporter aid package reflect mounting pressure from a shekel that has surged over 18% against the dollar in a year. At stake is the competitiveness of Israeli industry, which faces shrinking margins as revenues in dollars lose value locally. The manufacturers' demand for billions in grants and tax deferrals sets up a fiscal test for the government. Watch for whether the package materializes and how the Bank of Israel might respond to further shekel strength.
