Decision Making

The Bank of Israel is rather unusual in that the Governor alone decides whether to change rates or keep them on hold. Prior to this decision, discussions are held at two levels - first in a broad and then in a narrow forum.

The broad forum sees the Governor, Deputy Governor, departmental directors and departmental economists come together, and the economists present current economic and financial conditions and data.

The narrow forum consists only of the Governor, Deputy Governor and the departmental directors, and is far more discussion oriented. The directors present their opinions and recommendations, which the Governor questions and weighs before reaching his decision.
