Bank
of Israel raises interest rates to 0.75%
from MarketWatch.com - MarketPulse
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- The Bank of Israel
surprised the markets Monday by deciding to raise its benchmark
interest rate by 0.25 percentage points to 0.75%. Most analysts
expected the central bank to keep rates on hold at 0.5%. The
central bank said in a statement that its decision "strikes
a balance between the need to moderate inflation and the need
to continue to support the recent recovery in economic activity,
given that unemployment is expected to continue increasing in
the next few months." Setting the interest rate at the low
level of 0.75% continues to represent an expansionary monetary
policy, the bank said.
