Notes:

  1. The exchange rate: for currencies where the Bank of Israel publishes a representative rate, the rate is the representative rate.  For the other currencies, the rates are set on international markets near the time the representative rates are set for which no representative rate is calculated in Israel.
  2. The nominal effective exchange rate is only calculated on days on which the Bank of Israel publishes representative rates.
