"המחלה ההולנדית" והתשובה הנורבגית: המדינות שנפלו בגלל מטבע חזק ואלו שפיצחו את השיטה

הערכה

Israel faces a structural economic challenge as a strong shekel threatens export competitiveness and local industry. The Dutch disease pattern shows how resource wealth can inflate a currency and hollow out manufacturing. Norway offers a countermodel with its sovereign wealth fund, while Saudi Arabia uses a dollar peg to control appreciation. The question is whether Israel can adopt institutional mechanisms to manage currency strength without sacrificing economic dynamism.
