Responding to the resignation of the Treasury's budgets commissioner, Shaul Meridor, governor of the Bank of Israel Amir Yaron acknowledged Meridor's contribution and stated that he was "confident that a suitable replacement will be found."
Yaron added that, "Israel's credit rating is not dependent on any one individual, no matter how important he may be - therefore, I take this opportunity to remind the government of the importance of authorizing a budget for 2021 in the very near future."
