Bank of Israel leaves interest rate unchanged at 0.1%
The Bank of Israel leaves its benchmark interest rate at its all-time low of 0.1%, retaining the figure for the 12th consecutive meeting.
The bank’s monetary policy committee cut the rate from 0.25% to 0.1% at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and has left it in place ever since.
Economists expect that the Bank of Israel will increase the interest rate in 2022 or 2023.
