Consumer Price Index Up in October
Israel’s Consumer Price Index sees a rise in October 2025, with improvements in economic outlook. Confidence increases as country’s economic situation looks
Jerusalem, 12 November, 2025 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reported that the consumer confidence index in the country in October 2025 rose to -15%, from -25% in September.
There was an improvement in two of the four balance sheets that make up the index:
The balance relating to the expected change in the household’s economic situation in the coming year rose to a positive value of 4%, in September it stood at -4%.
The balance relating to the expected change in the country’s economic situation in the coming year rose to -18%, in September it was -37%.
The relative consumer confidence index rose to 93, from 57 in September.
The Consumer Confidence Index ranges from minus 100 to plus 100. The closer the index value is to the upper limit, the greater the optimism among individuals, and the closer the index value is to the lower limit, the greater the pessimism. An index close to zero indicates a lack of expectations for a change in the current situation. The survey methodology is consistent with the OECD guidelines for surveys of this type.
