Moti Bassok, Hagai Amit and Dafna Maor, Haaretz Correspondents: Israel Bank intervenes in foreign currency market, buys dollars
Talkback
Title:like everyone on the Hebrew site was saying - SIMPLE SOLUTION
Name:Moshe
City: Beit ShemeshState: Israel
a) print shekels on a printing press.
b) buy `hard currency` dollars at the CHEAP rate with the newly-printed crisp shekels from all the foreign speculators/
c) send the dollars overseas to pay off Israel`s foreign debt, which fortunately is mostly in dollars.
This problem is MUCH easier to deal with than the opposite problem - a shekel that is too weak.
