The Government's economic develop-
ment program involves a total expenditure
of $1,500,000,000, of which $500,000,000
k to be provided by Israel and other coun-
tries, and the balance ta to be obtained in
the United States. The $500,000,000 State of
Israel Bond Issue is the largest single source
of funds for this program.
The rapid, large scale immigration re-
quired an import surplus to meet the in-
vestment needs of the economy. For 1949
receipts on current account (expressed in
Israel pounds, IL, then fixed at $2.80 to the
pound) were IL 20,4S00,000 and payments,
IL 94,100,000. For 1950 the respective fig-
ures were IL 21,300,000 and 114,900,000,
and, for 1951, IL 24,600,000 and 136,-
800,000. Economic steps designed to combat
inflation and encourage productivity of
labor included the establishment in February,
1952 of additional rates of exchange of $1.40
and $1.00 to the pound to attract foreign
investment and to promote export, restric-
lion of bank credit and other measures.
As of December 31, 1951, funded debt
was IL 195.9 (exclusive of Treasury Bills,
omitted because of their relation to the pri-
vate Special Defense Budget). Israel has
never at any time defaulted on the principal
or interest on any debt.

Special Defense Budget and receipts from
