Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of June 2026 stood at $238,699 million, an increase of $18 million from their level at the end of the previous month. The level of the reserves relative to GDP was 37.2 percent (Figure 1).
The increase was mainly the result of:
a. The government’s foreign exchange activities totaling approximately $625 million.
b. Foreign exchange purchases by the Bank of Israel amounting to $1,027 million that were transacted in June specifically in order to maintain the orderly functioning of the markets.
This increase was partly offset by a revaluationa that decreased the reserves by approximately $1,458
million.
