ECONOMY/COST OF LIVING

* Reducing the cost of electricity - Electricity prices will come down by 10% in January 2015 due to
Yesh Atid policies which were adopted by the government

*We reduced the import tax and began reforms which brought down the cost of food by 3.2% while
in the rest of the OECD countries prices of food increased by 2.4%

previous government

*That responsible budget allowed us to fund Operation Protective Edge without raising taxes

*We forced the large corporations to pay 4.5 billion NIS in taxes on trapped profits

*We substantially reduced customs duty on personal purchases from abroad via the internet

through the Equality in Service law and the opening of employment and skill enrichment centers for
the ultra-Orthodox

*Increased supply of housing - We began the process of building 115,000 housing units.

business, implementing the ability to pay VAT only on money which entered the register and
compelling the state to pay suppliers quickly.

*We stopped the scandalous salaries of senior executives of banks and insurance companies and we
removed the political appointments of the directors of government companies and replaced them
with professional directors appointed through a proper selection process

teachers to teach core subjects and put in place the regulations to reduce the budgets of institutions
which dont teach them. Tens of ultra-Orthodox schools opened this year with basic general studies,

*Summer School Programs - We made it possible for 200,000 children in the first and second grades
to take part in Ministry of Education summer programs which saved their parents thousands of
shekels
