שר האוצר סמוטריץ': הורדת הריבית מזערית ולא תואמת לצרכי המשק

הערכה

The Finance Minister is publicly challenging the Bank of Israel's monetary policy, arguing that a quarter-point rate cut is too timid for the economy's needs. This creates a visible rift between the political leadership and the central bank over how aggressively to combat the cost of living. The next signal to watch is whether the Bank of Israel responds to this pressure or holds its course.
