I know that we are being given the award because of the Bank of Israel’s achievements as reflected in the survey carried out by the CFO, and my colleagues and I are truly proud of that. I will not be letting out any secrets if I tell you that recently the Bank of Israel has been the object of much criticism.
Much of the criticism is unjustified and petty, but some is justified, and we treat that part very seriously and are taking steps to improve ourselves where necessary. I must stress one thing, however. I have not encountered any justified complaints about the professionalism of the Bank’s staff in their work.
