The World - News from Nov. 24, 1985

Consumer prices in Israel fell slightly during the first two weeks of November for the first time in 10 years, the Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics announced. The drop of 1.5% was due mainly to a 16% drop in the cost of fresh fruits and vegetables, which had risen sharply in the past two months. However, a spokesman said several cost factors were not included in the latest statistics, which could result in an overall price rise for November when calculations are made at the end of the month.
