Bank of Israel Governor Prof. Amir Yaron and leading Bank officials met today with a six-member delegation from the International Monetary Fund, led by Mr. Jan Kees Martijn, who are on a brief visit to Israel. The current visit is a fact-finding mission to take stock of recent economic and financial developments in Israel and the country’s economic outlook.
The delegation will hold several additional meetings with officials of the Bank of Israel, the Ministry of Finance, and other economic and financial entities in the country.
The delegation is expected to return to Israel later this year for a longer visit, after which the IMF will publish a comprehensive report on the Israeli economy.
