הערכה

The April consumer price index rose 1.2 percent, matching economist forecasts, while the annual rate reached 1.9 percent. Fresh fruit prices surged 7.8 percent and transportation rose 4.9 percent, with rent increases hitting both renewing and new tenants. The data suggests steady but contained inflationary pressure, with the annual figure still below the Bank of Israel's target range. Watch for whether the central bank adjusts interest rates at its next decision.
