– The man who oversaw Israel’s finances for the past three and a half years is stepping down. Rony Hizkiyahu, the country’s accountant general, will stay on for a few months while a replacement is found, Finance Minister Israel Katz tells Reuters. Hizkiyahu has spearheaded multi-billion dollar programs to upgrade Israel’s transportation and energy infrastructure and in April led a record $5 billion bond offering—including $1 billion of 100-year bonds—to help finance a coronavirus stimulus package. Hizkiyahu previously served as banking regulator at the Bank of Israel.
