Economist Withdraws Bank of Israel Candidacy

“One of Israel’s top economists on Monday withdrew his candidacy as head of the central bank over an old shoplifting case.  The incident happened in a Hong Kong airport seven years ago. Jacob Frenkel told Israeli media he mistakenly thought his companion paid for an item he was carrying.  A committee reviewing his appointment raised questions about the incident, and Frenkel decided to withdraw his candidacy. Frenkel did not report the incident to the committee.”
