Kahlon holds 1st meeting as finance minister
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleFinance Minister Moshe Kahlon convenes his first meeting in this position since the swearing-in of the government last week.
“The first meeting by the Finance Ministry staff will deal with the issues I pushed in my campaign. These are the housing crisis and competitiveness in the banking sector and in the market in general. My worldview is that competition is the consumer’s best friend,” Kahlon says.
“Man is at the center – economy must serve people. Happily, after meeting with ministry staffers here, I found that they are attentive and professional people, some of the best. They are also committed to the agenda. The fact that a young couple can’t buy an apartment – it bothers them too and they toil day and night to find solutions,” Kahlon adds.
