The Treasury has not yet disclosed • I which 17 of the ministry's 38 offices it will shut. The Treasury has proposed two ways to compensate for the resulting personnel cutback. In some areas, • Foreign Ministry officials would be expected to perform duties previously carried out by Industry and Trade rep- resentatives, while in other regions, Industry and Trade officials would be responsible for more markets. Any cutbacks will greatly hurt business between Israel and the rest of the world, said Dov Mishor, Industry and Trade director-general. The Treasury estimates that it can save "dozens of millions of shekels" a year by closing down various govern- ment offices abroad. It costs about $150,000 a year to maintain an embassy or consular official and more than $1 million to operate a medi- um-sized office.
