| Foreign Exchange Reserves in the Bank of Israel, January 2010 |
|
| |
| Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of January 2010 stood at $ 61,603 million, an increase of $ 986 million from their level at the end of December 2009. |
| The increase derived from purchases of $1,564 million on the market and $23 million from the private sector. These were partially offset by a downward revaluation of the reserves of $476 million and government transfers of $125 million abroad. |
