In a significant shift that highlights rising inflationary pressures, Israel’s Consumer Price Index (CPI) climbed to 3.6% in August 2024, up from 3.2% in the previous month. This update was officially released on September 15, 2024, indicating ongoing economic adjustments within the country.The latest CPI figure represents a year-over-year comparison, meaning the increase is measured against the same month in the previous year. Similarly, July’s CPI at 3.2% was also a year-over-year comparison, reflecting changes in prices from July 2023 to July 2024. This upward movement in CPI suggests increasing consumer costs across various sectors, raising concerns about potential impacts on purchasing power and overall economic stability.Economists and policymakers will be paying close attention to this trend, as sustained increases in the CPI could prompt changes in monetary policy, such as interest rate adjustments, to help manage inflationary pressures. The Israeli government and central bank are expected to provide further analysis and potential intervention strategies should this trend continue in the coming months. Stay tuned for more updates as the situation evolves.The material has been provided by InstaForex Company – www.instaforex.com
