What the numbers say
In 2024, Israel's depositors with commercial banks (per 1,000 adults) rose 47.52 on 2023 (from 1,050 to 1,098).
Across the 15 yearly changes before that (2009 to 2023), the average change was +1.25 and a typical year strayed about 53.22 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.9 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 129.99 in 2017 and the biggest yearly fall was 112.91 in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 9% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.

What this measures
Depositors with commercial banks are the reported number of deposit account holders, including both resident non-financial corporations (both public and private) and individuals from the household sector, at commercial banks within the reporting jurisdiction for every 1,000 adults. The major types of deposits are checking accounts, savings accounts, and time deposits.
Limitations: For many countries data cover the total number of deposit accounts due to lack of information on account holders.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a median.
