In addition, information is also provided about future lessons that can be learned from the crisis with regard to the optimal structure for the financial system in Israel, and to the growth and inflation forecasts made by the bank for 2009.
The comprehensive explanations provided in this FAQ give an accurate impression of the supervisory measures taken by the banking system in Israel, the scenarios being assessed and the role the Bank of Israel has in the maintenance of financial stability in the economy.
