מה קרה

Israeli borrowers increasingly choose prime rate mortgages, betting on further interest rate cuts by the Bank of Israel despite global signals of rising rates. The prime rate mortgage share nearly doubled to 21% by June 2026, reflecting expectations of cheaper borrowing costs. However, delays or reversals in rate cuts could raise monthly payments substantially. The Bank of Israel's next rate decision on September 1 will be closely watched as it directly affects mortgage costs.
