FX.co ★ Israel’s FX Reserves Edge Higher in February, Reaching $234.55 Billion

Israel’s foreign exchange reserves in US dollars inched up in February 2026, rising to $234.553 billion from $233.044 billion in January 2026. The data, updated on 8 March 2026, point to a moderate month-on-month increase in the central bank’s stockpile of hard currency.

The February reading suggests continued accumulation of reserves, which typically serves as a buffer against external shocks and supports financial stability. While the gain from January is modest in absolute terms, it underscores ongoing efforts to maintain a strong reserve position amid evolving global economic conditions.

Analysts and market participants will be watching future releases to assess whether this uptick marks the start of a broader trend or reflects short-term dynamics in capital flows and foreign exchange operations.
