After passing the budget, now it's time to fight the cost of living. The finance minister is already promising: we will start with food, move on to medicines, dismantle them from monopolies and open the market to competition.
The prices of food and basic consumer goods have already soared. The depreciation of the shekel, if it continues, is liable to further increase inflationary pressures and make imported goods and vacation prices even more expensive. In addition, rental prices are expected to continue to increase this summer.
