Israel's Central Bank Cuts Key Rate by 25bps to 4.25%

11:01 AM EST, 11/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Israel's central bank Monday said its Monetary Committee decided to lower the interest rate by 25bps to 4.25%

Annual inflation has moderated and stood at 2.5% in the past two readings, noted the central bank in its policy statement. Forecasters project that there will be some increase in inflation at the end of the year, and that it will then decline and stabilize around the midpoint of the target range.

Economic activity recovered sharply in Q3, it pointed out. Gross domestic product expanded at a rate of 12.4% in annual terms, but its level remains lower than its long-term trend.

The labor market remains "tight," according to the Bank of Israel.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
