Netanyahu: economy is growing faster than Europe's or America's

Finance Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaking at the 13th Caesarea conference said Israel's economy is growing faster than that of Europe or the United States. Netanyahu noted that as a result of the fast growth, tax revenue had gone up despite tax cuts.
 
At the conference which was held at the Sheraton Plaza hotel in Jerusalem, the Finance Minister also noted that in the last 18 months, more than 150,000 new jobs were added and that the high economic growth had enabled the government to give more to the aged, the children and to the health basket.
