Finance Minister Avigdor Liberman said in December that house prices would “moderate” by the end of 2022, and that he thinks Israelis may even see prices come down in years to come.

Economists and experts have said the government’s new plans are a “drop in the ocean” and do not address underlying issues such as rapid population growth, government-controlled supply, lack of infrastructure and rising inequalities.

The statistics bureau also released a report on consumer goods on Sunday.

The consumer price index in Israel increased by 0.8% in April 2022, according to the new data.

Since the start of 2022, there has been a 2.3% increase, and over the past 12 months, the consumer price index has increased by 4%.

The CPI measures the average cost of household goods. Particular increases were seen in fresh fruits and vegetables (5.5%), clothing and footwear (2.8%), transportation (2.3%) and culture and entertainment (1.5%). ).

However, communication costs fell by 1.2%, according to the data.

Outrage over exorbitant housing costs and the rising cost of living has been growing across the country, more than a decade after Israel last experienced widespread social unrest over the issue.

The rise in the CPI also culminates with a 4% rise in inflation over the past year, the highest in almost 11 years.

While climbing, Israel’s inflation rate remains relatively low compared to other countries, such as the United States, where it has risen to 8.3% in the past 12 months and 7% in the past. EU.
