06 May 2016 by OneStopBrokers
bank-of-israel

Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of April 2016 stood at $95,685 million, an increase of $904 million from their level at the end of the previous month.

The increase was the result of:

  • Foreign currency purchases by the Bank of Israel totaling $1,200 million.
  • A revaluation* that increased the reserves by about $42 million.

These were partly offset by:

  • Government transfers to abroad of about $336 million.
  • A decrease of about $2 million derived from private sector transactions.
