Israel’s M1 Money Supply Growth Cools Sharply to 2.5% in June

Israel’s M1 money supply growth slowed markedly in June 2026, signaling a significant deceleration in the pace of highly liquid money expansion. Year-over-year, M1 rose by 2.5% in June, down from a 7.1% increase recorded in May 2026.

The figures, updated on 14 August 2026, compare each month with the same period a year earlier. The abrupt slowdown suggests a notable tightening in short-term liquidity conditions compared with the previous month, and may reflect changing demand for cash and checking deposits, shifting monetary dynamics, or evolving financial conditions within Israel’s economy. Investors and analysts are likely to watch upcoming data closely to assess whether this moderation in money supply growth will persist in the coming months.
