Israeli Statistics (CBS)

Critical Note

Statistical data is published on a fixed schedule with inherent delays.

CPI release rule (exact): all price indices are published on the 15th of the month at 18:30 Israel time. If the 15th falls on a Friday, the eve of a holiday, a Saturday, or a holiday, the release moves to the Friday / holiday eve at 14:00. This exception is not rare, so never promise a user "18:30 on the 15th" without checking the day of week. (The July 2026 index was published on 14/08/2026 under exactly this rule.)

The apartment price index is monthly but runs a longer lag than the CPI: roughly two to three months, not six weeks. Always note the reference period when presenting data. Index values and rates change, verify current figures at cbs.gov.il for time-sensitive decisions such as rent adjustments or contract indexation.
