JERUSALEM, Jan. 15 (Xinhua) -- Israeli inflation fell to 2.6 percent in 2025, returning to the government's target range as price pressures eased, official data showed on Thursday.

The annual figure, released by the Central Bureau of Statistics, marks a decline from 3.2 percent in 2024, bringing price growth back within the central bank's annual stability target of 1 to 3 percent.

The slowdown may offer the Bank of Israel more flexibility in setting interest rates, though policymakers remain cautious of ongoing price hikes in the domestic property market.
