2025年8月,以色列的年度通货膨胀率连续第二个月降至2.9%的一年多来的低点,自2024年6月以来首次恢复到政府1%-3%的目标。相比之下,7月份的读数为3.1%,市场预期为2.8%。经济放缓的原因是新鲜水果价格下跌、服装和家居用品的季节性变化以及谢克尔升值。文化和娱乐(2.9%)、交通和通讯(1.6%)、新鲜蔬菜(1.5%)、住房(0.8%)和家庭维护(0.3%)的价格上涨,而新鲜水果(-2.7%)、服装和鞋类(-1.6%)以及家具和家用设备(-0.5%)的价格下跌。
8月份,以色列货币兑美元汇率上涨约1.6%。8月份CPI环比上涨0.7%,7月份上涨0.4%,略高于分析师预测的0.6%。
Israel's annual inflation eased for the second month to a over one-year low of 2.9% in August 2025, returning to the government’s target of 1%-3% for the first time since June 2024. This compares with July’s reading of 3.1% and market expectations of 2.8%. The slowdown was driven by lower fresh fruit prices, seasonal shifts in clothing and home goods, and the appreciating shekel. Price growth was observed in culture and entertainment (2.9%), transportation and communication (1.6%), fresh vegetables (1.5%), housing (0.8%), and home maintenance (0.3%), while prices fell for fresh fruit (-2.7%), clothing and footwear (-1.6%), and furniture and household equipment (-0.5%).
The Israeli currency gained about 1.6% against the dollar in August. On a monthly basis, the CPI went up by 0.7% in August, after a 0.4% increase in July and slightly above analysts' estimates of a 0.6% rise.
