Reach Compromise
Jerusalem (JPFS) — The Israel
Treasury and the Bank of Israel
said they reached a compromise
agreement on multi-annual in-
flation targets.
In the past, Israeli govern-
ments have refrained from strin-
gent, long-term fiscal
commitments.
According to the agreement,
the government will see to it that
the rate of inflation will decrease
by the year 2001 to that which
prevails in "the industrialized
states of Europe," according to
a joint statement by the two
agencies.
As for the 1998 rate, it was de-
cided that it will be fixed during
the first half of 1997, before dis-
cussions on the 1998 budget be-
gin.
The belief in the Treasury is
that it is impossible to make ac-

Tourism Slump
Will Persist
Jerusalem (JPFS) — The slump
in tourism to Israel, which has be-
set the country for most of 1996,
is expected to continue through
the first quarter of 1997, accord-
ing to Avi Rosental, director of the
Israel Hotel Association.
Mr. Rosental reckons the first
signs of recovery can only be ex-
pected toward Passover, when
hoteliers are hoping for an up-
swing in the Jewish and Christ-
ian pilgrim markets.
The national average for hotel
occupancy in November was 60
percent, a drop of 13 percent in
comparison with the same month
in 1995, according to the associ-
ation. However, it also noted that
in the course of the year an addi-
tional 1,700 hotel rooms had been
opened, adding 5 percent to ca-
pacity.
There were 695,000 bed-nights
by foreign tourists, 32 percent less
than during November 1995. The
drop was felt throughout the coun-
try, with the greatest decrease in
kibbutz guest houses, which had
39 percent fewer tourist guest-
nights. Jerusalem had a 31 per-
cent fall in occupancy by foreign
tourists.
The overall decrease in foreign
tourist stays for January through
November 1996 was only 6 per-
cent, because of the sharp increase
in tourism during the first months
of ft: vear.
