Yaron Zelicha, formerly the accountant general, is worried about the decision on the credit rating that is expected to be made tomorrow. "The rating did not go down even at the height of the second intifada when we were on the verge of bankruptcy, but now I am afraid that the Ministry of Finance has fed them too many frogs," he says.

"It can be said with certainty that the government did a bad job. The Minister of Finance presented a budget with only cosmetic changes," he adds.
