Following a series of meetings with the Finance Minister, the Economy Minister, and the Governor of the Bank of Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu declared that the economy of Israel is "in excellent condition. We are in the midst of the coronavirus crisis even as our financial condition is better than in most of the world's nations. We have taken steps such as setting up a four billion shekel fund to help businesses affected adversely by the virus and are now working on finding additional funds for this assistance project. We receive most of what we import by sea, from raw materials to everyday products to food and there is no reason to empty the supermarkets since the supply lines are operating normally. Regarding imports by air, here too we have taken steps to assure deliveries will continue as before."
