Israel’s Finance Ministry on Tuesday estimated that the Jewish state’s debt burden dropped from 66.75 percent in 2014 to 64.9 percent in 2015.
“This is an achievement for the Israeli economy,” said Israeli Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon. “Decreasing tax burdens and interest payments will allow us to increase budgets for education, health, welfare, and security.”
