JERUSALEM - Israel's central bank chief says he expects the country's economy to grow 3.7 percent this year, up from a previous forecast of 3.5 percent.

Stanley Fischer also said Israel has successfully weathered the global economic meltdown, and predicted unemployment would fall to 7 percent this year, down from 7.4 percent in the last quarter of 2009.

Fischer delivered the assessment as he presented his annual report on Israel's economy Wednesday.

He noted that Israel experienced slight economic growth last year, in contrast to the U.S. and most European countries. He credited Israel's strictly supervised banking system with limiting the scope of the crisis that devastated Western economies.

Last month, Fischer agreed to serve a second five-year term as central bank chief.
