The change-over from the pound, which has been Is- rael's official currency since the state was founded, was announced by the govern- ment last Friday. At the same time, the government announced tough new measures to crack down on tax evasion with severe penalties for violators. Israelis were required to trade in their pounds for "shkalim" at the rate of 10 to one last Sunday. The pound will be phased out over the next few months, but will remain legal tender along with the shekel until then. The IL 50 note will be- come a five shekel note with the portrait of Chaim Weizman and Theodor Herzl's portrait will continue to mark the 10 shekel note, prev- iously IL 100. The long anticipated IL 1,000 pound note bearing the portrait of Revisionist leader Vladimir Jabotinski will be issued next fall as a 100 shekel note.

The amount of foreign currency that Israelis can legally hold was reduced from $3,000 per year to $500. There was a significant drop in stock prices al- though cost-of-living linked bonds held their ground. Foreign ex- change rates rose in re- sponse to a surge of de- mand for foreign curren- cies. The U.S. dollar soared from a rate of IL 38.8-$1 to IL 42-$1 and the German mark also rose against the pound. But the government made it clear that the change of currency was not a new devaluation. The shekel will be pegged at 3.80-$1. The new tax law will re- quire a one-time declara- tion of assets by all citizens except low to moderately paid wage-earners. The deadline for filing the dec- larations is May. Persons who earned less than IL 660,000 during fiscal 1979-1980 are exempt. Bank notes presently in circulation will be trans- lated into shkalim with no change in their appearance. The IL 500 note will become a 50 shekel note but will continue to bear the portrait of David Ben-Gurion, Is- rael's first prime minister. y 40% OFF CUSTOM WOVEN WOODS 40% OFF CUSTOM SHUTTERS by Joanna.
