Israel's cabinet this morning approved the appointment of Prof. Amir Yaron as Governor of the Bank of Israel. The cabinet also approved his request to continue to serve as a member without payment of three economic research institutes in the field of financing. The appointment will come into effect some time in December when Yaron is sworn in as Governor by President Reuven Rivlin. Until then Dr. Nadine Baudot-Trajtenberg will serve as Acting Governor. Baudot-Trajtenberg was deputy governor until Dr. Karnit Flug ended her five year term of office earlier this month.
