The Bank of Israel's Annual Reports are published at the end of March, and are submitted to the Knesset and the Finance Committee of the Knesset in accordance with section 59 of the Bank of Israel Law, 5714-1954. The reports encompass a broad range of areas of economic activity: they review and analyze the economy and economic policy; output, uses, and principal industries; inflation and monetary policy; the financial system; the labor market; general government and how it is financed; the balance of payments; and welfare policy.
The reports are illustrated by diagrams and contain text tables, and incorporate boxes which present expanded analyses of selected topics. The reports have statistical appendices containing long-run data on Israel's economy, which can help researchers in public institutions and in business entities to analyze economic trends in Israel.
Printed versions of the annual reports (without the appendices) are also available. For further information on Bank of Israel publications available in print, click here.
