ILThe Bank of Israel has lowered its interest rates for the third time in 12 months, reducing them to 3.25%. This follows a period of moderate inflation and strong GDP growth. The central bank emphasized its focus on maintaining price stability, supporting economic activity, and ensuring market stability. Recent data showed inflation remaining below the central bank's target, while the Israeli shekel has shown relative stability against major currencies. Economic growth in the second quarter of 2026 reached 15.4% annually, driven by recovery from earlier damage caused by military operations and overall robust performance across GDP sectors.
