| Foreign Exchange Reserves in the Bank of Israel, February 2010 |
|
| |
| Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of February 2010 stood at $60,732 million, a reduction of $871 million from their level at the end of January 2010. |
| |
| The decrease derived from purchases of $209 million on the market which were more than offset by: (1) a downward revaluation of the reserves by $696 million, (2) government transfers abroad of $346 million, and (3) private sector transactions amounting to $38 million. |
