1. The BOI needs to back the Shekel with Gold.
Rich ,   Toronto, Canada   (06.28.15)
It is crazy that the Bank of Israel has no gold reserves. Jewish leaders are not serious about Israelā€˜s future.
2. Flug's comments and these kind
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.28.15)
of articles are not helpful to better the Israel shekel currency.
3. 2 nor is your comment

4. Incredibly stupid article (title at least)
SK ,   Tel Aviv   (06.28.15)
Article in question referred to only a single day. Shekel has been one of the world's strongest currencies. Not advocating BOI policies.
5. Ora #2
A Jerusalemite ,   Jersalem, Israel   (06.28.15)
Playing ostrich doesn't help anything at anytime...
6. 5.00 - 5.50 Shekel for 1 dollar
i-money   (06.28.15)
Actually, Bloomberg is wrong. The shekel is too high. The Israeli prices are expensive in dollars. 20-25% devaluation would be justified. This would drive up the prices of the imported products as a negative effect. So the devaluation should be stretched out for 2-3 years.
7. Really? Betcha a Greek would doubt that.
JVC ,   LA, USA   (06.29.15)
Let Greece default. Let the EU domino tumble begin. Then, let's have a debate about who's got the "worst" currency.
8. the secular shekel, like the seculur
ehud fakir ,   jenin   (06.28.15)
creepy sick secular Jew is worthless.
9. 5 A.Jerusalemite. Positive thinking
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.29.15)
is not playing ostrich. Fischer did not blame but took the right measures to keep Israel out of the world economic crisis.
10. 3 If that is so,i am very sorry
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.29.15)
i made a mistake.
11. 1
zionist forever   (06.29.15)
Israel does not have any gold reserves just foreign currency reserves.
12. nonsense
zionist forever   (06.29.15)
All currencies have their ups and downs. Right now the Shekel is to strong largely because of the Euro. The economy has slowed as a result of trading partners buying less but its still growing and unemployment is lower than its been in a very long time so the Shekel in time will find a competitive level eventually but the idea its the worlds worst currency is nonsense.
13. The Dollar Will Be GONE By September
Truth   (06.29.15)
A calamity such has never been seen before will befall the planet in late August/Early September. Start putting your houses in order. Buy cheap silver coins, they will be the only thing to bartter food and other necessities with. The stock market will tank to 0. This is all part of the NWO plan to dominate the world. You need to heed the warnings, which are ALL OVER THE PLACE including none other than the Economist Magazine itself - which has never given itself to conspiracy theory - they are now making the stunning claim themselves of an impending global financial crash at the end of this summer. You are now aware.
14. Which would you rather hold?
That's *ridiculous*.   (06.30.15)
The NIS, or the Syrian pound? The NIS, or the Egyptian pound? The NIS, or the Zimbabwean, North Korean or Libyan currencies? Lots of currencies have been falling steeply in value versus the NIS. The headline, report and quotation are all garbage.
15. What does that self fulfilling profecy
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (06.30.15)
hide?
16. The American stock market is a crap shoot with all cards
Al   (07.03.15)
in the house favour. 0% rate policy made to cushion 18 T in debt is the driving force of the American Stock Market and real estate values in NYC and other high water spots. Detroit is worthless as is much of middle America. America has nothing to support its overpriced currency. The USA has no manufacturing worth a damn and a very poorly uneducated work force to boot. The Israeli shekel is overpriced making exports ridiculously expensive. What to do..Oh I don't know but I just bought some beans and Shabbos is coming.
17. Stop fatting banks with your savings
ORA ,   JERUSALEM   (07.03.15)
Lend it to your skilful children friends neighbours to develop their skills and open their own business,be partner.This will develop far more the economy of your homeland and yours. Shabat Shalom.
