Israel Policy Rate

## What this measures

The Bank of Israel's policy rate, end of month, as compiled by the BIS.

## Why it matters

It sets the cost of borrowing in Israel and shows how the central bank weighs inflation against growth.

## How to read it

It was 3.25% in September 2026, down from 4.5% a year earlier and the lowest since December 2022. Compare with Israeli consumer price inflation (bis.cpi_yoy.isr).

## What it does not say

It does not show market rates or what borrowers pay.
