Israel’s consumer price index (CPI) accelerated in March 2026, with month-over-month inflation rising to 0.4%, double the 0.2% increase recorded in February 2026. The latest data, updated on 15 April 2026, signal a strengthening of short-term price pressures in the Israeli economy.
On a month-over-month basis, the March reading shows that prices grew at a faster pace compared with the previous month, when the CPI increase was more subdued. The “actual” figure for March reflects the change from February to March, while the “previous” figure captures the change from January to February, highlighting a clear step-up in inflation momentum over the past two months.
The pickup in March adds to the data that policymakers and markets will monitor closely when assessing the trajectory of inflation and the potential implications for interest rate decisions in Israel.
