Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of February 2016 stood at a record US$90.618 billion, up US$131 million from their level at the end of January 2016, the Bank of Israel reports.

 

The increase was the result of government transfers from abroad of about $283 million and an increase of about $8 million derived from private sector transactions.

 

These were partly offset by a revaluation that decreased the reserves by about $160 million.
