These concepts are significant for the understanding of the interaction between households and government intervention on both private and public housing markets. The following question is formulated: Should the government identify the housing needs and intervene in the free market? And if so, to what degree? In previous years, by adopting the privatization policy, the Israeli government has limited its involvement in the free housing market as well as in public housing. As a result, housing prices have increased significantly since the 2008 subprime crisis. These changes have forced the government to redefine the housing needs and government intervention while maintaining the freedoms and households’ abilities to make their own choices. The author of the article concludes that the government should limit its intervention and allow individuals to define their own needs, to ensure a genuine freedom of choice, and to express the responsibility that comes with it.

Not surprisingly the system requires an adequate solution. The introduction of the Treasury Single Account provided an opportunity to have information on the budget, which has financial levers of macroeconomic regulation, including putting into effect the alignment of potentially financial areas. The State Treasury has introduced changes in the institutional structure and legal relations between all participants of the budget process. Research has shown that free funds have increased to a great extent.
