What this value means
Reference month June 2026, published by the CBS on 15 July 2026. Index level 104.8 (base 2024=100), unchanged on the month — CP_PCH (month-on-month) = 0.0% for 2026-06, and the CPI excluding energy stood at 104.9. The precise 12-month change is 1.6489%; 1.6% is the figure as the CBS rounds and publishes it. Inflation has been inside the government's 1–3% target range all year and just below the 2% midpoint: the Bank of Israel's 6 July 2026 rate decision described May inflation as 'stable around the midpoint of the target range' at 1.9%, with core (net of energy, fruit and vegetables) at 1.6%, non-tradables 2.9% and tradables 0.4%; the June reading extends the moderation. Research Department forecast is 1.8% for 2026 and 2027. ACCESS NOTE — THIS IS THE IMPORTANT ONE: www.cbs.gov.il, the primary publisher, is NOT REACHABLE from this location at all. It is not a bot wall but a network-level refusal: curl returns connection refused / timeout (000), WebFetch returns ECONNREFUSED on 192.114.84.16, and the browser reports the navigation denied. The CBS open-data hosts apis.cbs.gov.il and api.cbs.gov.il fail the same way. Do not point a source-watcher at cbs.gov.il. The Bank of Israel SDMX endpoint above is a fully official republication of the same CBS series, is machine-readable CSV/XML, requires no JavaScript, and is what this series is built on. A secondary BoI route is the Excel table 'SELECTED PRICE INDICES' at https://www.boi.org.il/boi_files/Statistics/eng_e01.xls, but it lags the SDMX feed by about a month. Next release: July 2026 CPI, expected 15 August 2026. UPDATE (roll applied 2026-08-21): Reference month July 2026: index 105.1 (base 2024=100), MoM +0.3%, YoY 1.5% (precise 1.5459%) — lowest annual reading since May 2021, still inside the 1-3% target and below the 2% midpoint. RELEASE-DATE RULE learned this cycle: when the 15th falls on Shabbat the CBS moves the release forward — July 2026 was published Friday 14 August 2026, not the scheduled 15th; expect the same shift whenever the 15th lands on Fri evening/Sat. Next release: August 2026 CPI, expected Tuesday 15 September 2026 at 18:30. cbs.gov.il remains network-refused from every vantage (re-tried 2026-08-21: box curl 000, WebFetch ECONNREFUSED 192.114.84.16) — keep verifying via the BoI SDMX feed.
