About the USD/ILS Pair
Israel has built one of the world's most concentrated technology and startup sectors relative to its population size, drawing significant foreign investment and dollar inflows that support the shekel. At the same time, the currency can be more sensitive to regional political and security developments than currencies from more geographically insulated economies, which occasionally produces sharper short-term moves than its underlying economic fundamentals alone would suggest. The Bank of Israel manages monetary policy and has at times intervened to smooth out volatility.
