Sources & methodology

Bank of Israel is the principal reference used here for institutional facts about Israeli new shekel in Israel. ISO 4217 is used for the ILS identifier; exchange-arrangement facts and dated rate observations are treated as different data layers. The page therefore keeps the institutional fact separate from market data.

Exchange-rate note: the ILS converter for Israel requests a supported reference-rate source and displays the observation date. If no supported observation is available, the converter shows that a reference rate is unavailable instead of estimating one.
