Yoram Aridor (Hebrew: יורם ארידור, born 24 October 1933) is an Israeli former politician, who served as a member of the Knesset from 1969 until 1988, as well as holding two ministerial posts.
Two weeks later he was appointed the Minister of Finance,[3] and again took a populist approach, lowering taxes on automobiles and household appliances.
The lowering of inflation in Israel during his first years in office is attributed in part to this policy, leading to an increase in government's income from taxes.
In subsequent years however, the inflation rose sharply (from 102% in 1981 to 191% in 1983), and as a countermeasure Aridor proposed to peg the Israeli shekel to the US dollar at a fixed exchange rate.
[6] In 2002, he was appointed to the board of directors of Bezeq, by then Minister of Communications Reuven Rivlin.
