The Bank of Israel raised its monetary policy interest rate 50 basis points to 3.00% due to rising consumer and house price inflation. The Bank said the move was "consistent with the process of returning the interest rate to a normal range intended to position inflation firmly within the target range and to support the further recovery of economic activity, while maintaining financial stability.". Israel recorded inflation of 4.2% over the past 12 months, which is above the 1-3% official inflation target. Israel saw house price inflation of 16.3% over the past 12 months.
