Israel's Consumer Price Index, calculated monthly by the Central Bureau of Statistics, tracks inflation by measuring price changes in a weighted basket of goods and services. While it guides economic policy and contract adjustments, many feel inflation is higher due to personal spending patterns differing from the average basket. The CPI excludes home purchase prices and reflects average, not individual, cost changes.

• 01Israel's Consumer Price Index measures monthly price changes in a weighted basket representing an average household.
• 02The Central Bureau of Statistics publishes the CPI around the 15th of each month, reflecting the previous month's prices.
• 03Housing, especially rent, has a large weight in the CPI, significantly impacting the index.
• 04The CPI affects Bank of Israel interest rates, inflation-linked mortgages, and indexed contracts like rent and child support.
• 05The CPI excludes home purchase prices and does not represent individual household expenses, causing perceived inflation to differ.
• 06Price data for about 1,300 items are collected monthly from stores, online, and administrative sources to ensure accuracy.
