Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of October 2025 stood at $231,954 million, an increase of $74 million from their level at the end of the previous month. The level of the reserves relative to GDP was 41.3 percent (Figure 1).
The increase was mainly explained by a revaluation[1] of the reserves totaling approximately $607 million, which was partly offset by foreign exchange activity by the government totaling about $550 million.
