Israel’s economic stability and challenges- Jerusalem Studio 455

I’m Erin Viner, sitting in for Jonathan Hessen. Israel’s Finance Ministry is projecting a significant slowdown in economic growth of 1-2% – following a rapid 5% growth during the first quarter. Israel’s overall estimated growth during the first half of the year (between 3.2 and 3.4%) is still healthier than many other int’l economies – but there has also a slight increase in unemployment in recent months. The national deficit is rising - as exports are impeded due to the strengthening shequel, whose gains against the US dollar this year made it one of the world's strongest currencies. Panel: - Erin Viner, host. - Amir Oren, analyst. - Prof. Eytan Sheshinski, Senior Fellow, Center for Governance and the Economy. - Dror Strum, President of Israeli Institute for Economic Planning.
