Bank of Israel Governor Fischer said: "I would like to present you with the Bank of Israel 2012 Annual Report,
the last report that I will present to you. I did not manage to present you with one when you were Finance Minister
but since you became Prime Minister, this is the fifth report that I have presented to you.
The report describes the not bad situation of the Israeli economy.
There are things to fix but we still grew faster than almost all OECD countries."

TOURISM MINISTRY RECEIVES 32 GRANT REQUESTS FOR HOTEL CONSTRUCTION
AND EXPANSION (3000 HOTEL ROOMS) WITH AN OVERALL INVESTMENT
OF MORE THAN NIS2.5 BILLION
Tourism Ministry Director-General Noaz Bar Nir: “An increase in the supply of hotel rooms will directly contribute to reducing the cost of vacationing in Israel, in line with the reforms spearheaded by the Tourism Ministry in order to increase incoming tourism. The Tourism Ministry is making significant efforts to encourage the construction of new hotels within the framework of the Law to Encourage Capital Investment and investors are expressing their confidence in the expected growth in this industry. Nonetheless, Israel’s unique position, including the geopolitical environs and the low return on hotel investment in Israel, obligates us to offer grants for assistance in hotel construction.”
