Israel’s consumer price index (CPI) accelerated sharply in April 2026, rising 1.2% month-over-month, up from a 0.4% increase in March 2026, according to data updated on 15 May 2026. The April reading marks a threefold pick-up in the pace of price growth compared with the previous month.
On a month-over-month basis, the “Actual” figure reflects the change in prices in April versus March, while the “Previous” figure captures the change in March compared with February. The move from 0.4% to 1.2% suggests a notable strengthening in short-term inflationary pressures within the Israeli economy over the latest period.
