Anti-Inflationary Measures Mark
Israel's Proposed '54-'55 Budget
Direct JTA Teletype Wire
To The Jewish News
JERUSALEM — The 1954-55
budget of 571,000,000 pounds
($317,000,000) which was pre-
sented Monday to the Israel
parliament for oproval is an
anti-inflationary measure de-
signed to speed up and stabilize
the country's economy, Finance
Minister Levi Eshkol told the
Kne - set.
The minister, who estimated
that prices would rise about 10
per cent in the coming fiscal
year—as compared to 20 per cent
for the past year and 66 per
cent the year before that—
called on the Israelis for an all-
out effort and for continued
austerity in national life to
match the increased efforts of
Jews abroad in behalf of Israel's
financial sta'3ility.
Mr. Eshkol reviewed t h e
economic highlights of the 1953-
'54 fiscal year stressing that the
balance of payments had im-
proved, exports had risen from
$43,000,000 a year ago to $60,-
000,000 this year, and imports
were cut from $310,000,000 to
$286,000.000.
Israel's foreign currency situa-
tion has improved considerably,
he pointed out, particularly due
to the success of the 'consolida-
tion loan"—the five year loan
by American Jewish communi-
ties underwritten by the receipts
of the United Jewish Appeal
which is designed to provide for
Israel ready cash to retire many
short term obligations and thus
save heavy interest charges.
Real national income had
risen 13 per cent by the end of
December, 1953, as compared to
D e c e m b e r, 1952, he reported.
Agricultural and industry ex-
panded and $197,000,000 came in
from external sources—sales of
bond s, German reparations,
American grants-in-aid a n d
other sources.
He disclosed that 43 new set-
tlements were established last
year that the cultivated area of
Israel had reached 1,000,000
dunams (250,000 acres)—an in-
crease of 20 per cent—and that
the total area under irrigatiQn
was now 640,000 dunams—and
increase of 30 per cent.
