Central bank composite state of economy index increased in November

The Bank of Israel's composite state of the economy index increased by 0.16% in November, the central bank announced on Sunday. 

This is the second month of increase, though in September there was only a negligible, near-zero increase. 

The increases in the last two months came following the fourth wave of the coronavirus and the reopening of the economy, though the Bank of Israel notes that restrictions still impact tourism.
