-     During the second quarter of 2016, the value of the public's financial assets portfolio increased by about NIS 26 billion (compared with the balance at the end of the first quarter of the year), to about NIS 3.34 trillion at the end of the quarter.
 
-    Since the beginning of the year, there has been a decline of about 1.5 percentage points in the weight of tradable assets, further to the trend that began in the second quarter of 2015—a decline in the value of tradable assets totaling about NIS 132 billion (-7.4 percent) and of about 4.1 percentage points in their proportion of the total portfolio.
 
-    The increase in the portfolio value in the second quarter derived from an increase in cash and deposits and in government bonds, which was partially offset by a decline in the value of shares in Israel and makam.
