The Minister of Finance, Avigdor Lieberman, has decided to establish an economic expert cabinet headed by the former Governor of the Bank of Israel and the winner of the Israel Prize for Economics, Prof. Yaakov Frenkel.
The Cabinet of Experts already held a first meeting a few days ago with the participation of the Minister of Finance.
The establishment of the cabinet is legally-practically meaningless, but it seems that beyond the expected majority promised by the Minister of Finance in the Finance Committee, he is trying to keep the economic discussions in smaller forums, ones that attract less communication - and naturally less criticism.
In Lieberman's environment, it is emphasized that the selected experts come with extensive experience in the various fields of economics, policy-making and regulatory experience, and that the experts are members of the Cabinet on a voluntary basis.
