Israel’s Inflation rate spiked in August to the highest level in almost a year, according to data from the Central Bureau of Statistics. The annual Inflation rate climbed to 3.6% last month, exceeding expectations and surpassing the government’s target range of 1-3%. The increase was attributed to higher costs of fresh produce, food, housing, transport, education, and entertainment. The Bank of Israel has held its benchmark interest rate steady in recent months, citing geopolitical tensions and rising price pressures. Israeli central bankers do not anticipate any rate cuts until 2025.
