Bank of Israel Governor Prof. Amir Yaron warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu against the planned judicial reform in a meeting between the two in the prime minister's office on Tuesday.
According to Walla, in the meeting, the governor warned Netanyahu of harming Israel's credit score as a result of the judicial reform.
"The world is worriedly following the developments that may distance international companies from investing in the country," he said.
Yaron referred to the challenges facing Israel's economy in his review, both locally and from an international perspective. He also made clear to the prime minister the various issues that arose in the Israeli context in the discussions he had with the senior officials of the global economy, as well as with the senior officials of the rating companies in recent weeks.
Additionally, he presented a strategy put together by the Bank of Israel that includes recommendations for economic policies in a variety of domains.

The meeting was held as former Bank of Israel governors Karnit Flug and Yaakov Frankel issues similar warnings against the judicial reforms.
Yaron had previously warned Netanyahu of potential economic risks in regard to some of the coalition agreements and commitments and encouraged the new government to act carefully and responsibly.
