Summary:The Israeli economy is performing exceptionally well, but still high public indebtedness calls for the continuation of strong economic policies. Monetary policy has successfully stabilized inflation expectations, but policy and communication challenges remain.

Enhanced fiscal transparency and governance are essential to improve the quality of policymaking.
