Credit Suisse’s annual forecast for the Israeli economy refers, among other things, to the Bank of Israel’s monetary policy, and the bank’s economists state that “the approach to keeping interest rates low in order to stimulate the economy is expected to moderate, but interest rate hikes are not imminent.” According to them, the Bank of Israel is expected to remain neutral in the coming months, with the inflation rate likely to rise and reach the upper limit of the target range set by the central bank of 1.0% -3.0%. Still, the structural pressure on the shekel suggests that the bank is expected to maintain interest rates at least 0.1% throughout the first half of the year, and may consider raising interest rates only if inflation surprises. The Bank of Israel forecasts that inflation will moderate from 2.5% in the last quarter of 2021 to 1.6% in the last quarter of 2022.

“In the area of ​​the exchange rate, it seems that the shekel will remain subject to continuous structural appreciation pressures also in 2022, as a result of a significant surplus in the current account and a constant sale of dollars by local institutional investors while hedging their foreign investments. We expect the current account surplus Of 5.7% in the second quarter of 2021 on a rolling basis), the balance of payments situation is expected to continue to support the shekel in the near future. “

If these trends continue, Credit Suisse says, the Bank of Israel is expected to continue to allow for further gradual and moderate declines in the dollar and euro exchange rate in 2022, as long as inflation remains relatively high. “The exchange rate of the dollar against the shekel may fall to NIS 3 to NIS 3.05 in the first half of next year,” they concluded.
