P.M Netanyahu and MK Nir Barkat presented Likud Economic future reforms

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and MK Nir Barkat, who is his candidate for Finance Minister, presented their economic plan to the next government on Sunday on the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange, including reforms in various economic areas announced by the Prime Minister.
Netanyahu acknowledged opening remarks to the departing Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon and praised the Israeli economy: "As soon as we turned Israel into a free economy, investments came from international companies that were almost not here. We turned Israel into an international technology center." Netanyahu also noted the low unemployment rates, adding: "We have passed Japan in GDP per capita, are also going to pass the major European countries. We brought in a free economy, not a Histadrut economy and not a centralized and failed economy - but a successful economy. "
Barkat said at the outset: "We are here to bounce the country one big step further. Good organizations occasionally stop and think outside the box, reinvent themselves, so I am here. You know my track record, More, take advantage and take it to the next level. "
 Then Barkat elaborated on his plans and began on the subject of food prices: "The first thing is a drastic reduction of food prices in the country. At the moment, food costs 30% more than in the world. We will dismantle monopolies and focus on centralization of the economy." The former mayor of Jerusalem then addressed the housing issue: "The second reform is a drastic reduction in housing prices. A significant cut in the bureaucracy will be cut. 60% of the price of an apartment in Israel today is the price of land and taxation."
"The third reform is a dramatic investment in healthcare," Barkat continued. "We will complete the establishment of two hospitals that have already started construction in Beersheba and Kiryat Ata, and in the near future we will decide on two more hospitals. The idea is to decompose hospitals and bring them closer to the population. . He said, "We have to mow the queues. We can no longer see patients walking in the corridors in a few years - this is unacceptable."
Barkat also introduced planned reform on the periphery and talked about "huge investments in the Galilee, the Negev and the USSR. We will bring over 400,000 jobs to our periphery in the next decade. The idea is to allow the child in the periphery the same level of education as the child who lives in the center. "Barkat also addressed the reform of small business:" Our need is to help them, to remove barriers and to give them certainty. It will require three things for us - to freeze the 5-year tax hike, revolutionize business licensing and compare the social conditions of the self-employed in Israel. "
 The latest reform introduced by Barkat is future technologies. He said, "The state must lead this. In biotechnology and medicine, we have huge potential in Israel, as well as robotics and public transport. Intel has made Israel their international autonomous hub. We have more ventures and startups that can definitely change the world."
 In conclusion, Netanyahu said: "When I said that we would become an independent economy and that we would not need external aid to scoff at it. When I said that we would make Israel one of the world's leading economies, roll it out. High, to be number one in the world in artificial intelligence, to bring the health care system to the world's first place, to solve the problems that citizens know and to bring us to be among the five most advanced countries in the world on all these issues.
