Peres unveils sweeping plan to revive Israeli economy
Finance Minister Shimon Peres presented a recovery package aimed at cutting inflation and boosting growth by trimming defense and public spending and liberalizing investment rules. The plan calls for about 1 billion shekels in budget cuts and foresees possible 4,000 defense jobs at risk as defense spending is trimmed. Prime Minister Shamir supports the proposal amid a decade of high inflation and flat growth in 1987 with tourism and exports hit by the Palestinian uprising.
