Israel’s foreign exchange reserves rose in April 2026, continuing their upward trajectory and underscoring the country’s solid external position. The Bank of Israel’s FX holdings increased to USD 235.745 billion in April 2026, up from USD 229.419 billion in March 2026.
The latest figures, updated on 7 May 2026, reflect a month-on-month gain of more than USD 6 billion in reserves. This expansion in Israel’s dollar-denominated buffer may provide additional support for financial stability, currency market confidence and the country’s capacity to absorb external shocks.
The sustained buildup in reserves is closely watched by investors and policymakers, as it can influence expectations around monetary policy, exchange rate dynamics and Israel’s broader macroeconomic resilience in the months ahead.
