Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich convened a meeting with Treasury officials to discuss a report issued yesterday by the Moody’s credit agency warning of negative economic fallout after the government passed first the judicial overhaul law, according to Hebrew outlets.
“We are treating this seriously, are in close contact with ratings firms and are frequently examining the economic situation and risks,” Smotrich is quoted as saying by Army Radio.
