The increase, explained the Bank, was mainly the result of a revaluation that increased the reserves by approximately $2.685 billion.
Also, foreign exchange purchases by the Bank of Israel amounting to $801million that were transacted in May, specifically in order to “maintain the orderly functioning of the markets.”
This increase was partly offset by the government’s foreign exchange activities totaling approximately $721 million.
