Israel’s foreign exchange reserves at the end of November 2022 stood at $194,414 million, an increase of $5,572 million from their level at the end of the previous month. The level of the reserves relative to GDP was 37.5 percent.
The increase was the result of a revaluation[1] that increased the reserves by approximately $6,754 million.
In contrast, the increase was partly offset by:
Government transfers to abroad totaling approximately $1,134 million.
Private sector transfers totaling approximately $48 million.
