The job in brief
The Bank of Israel's official recruitment portal lists a "temporary student for the Capital Market Unit, Statistics Department, Information and Statistics Division" role (job no. 5325) in Jerusalem. The work: collecting and processing financial-system data (bonds and equities, credit, inflation and interest), running quality controls on the data, preparing graphical outputs for the bank's website and internal portal, and helping the unit's economists. The role is temporary for six months with an option to extend, at least 25 hours a week across at least three days. Application deadline: 1.11.2026.
The profession
A financial data analyst or capital-market economist collects data, cleans it, checks its quality and turns it into a picture that policymakers and the public can understand. This kind of role is a direct entry into the profession: you work with real bond, equity and credit data, and whoever excels learns the data the Israeli economy rests on.
Per public salary guides (study.co.il, AllJobs) a starting economist earns around NIS 11,000-12,000 a month, and in the civil service roughly NIS 10,000 to 20,000. The Bank of Israel posting states no salary, so we have no verified range for this exact role.
By the numbers
About the institution
The Bank of Israel is the central bank of the State of Israel, established in 1954. It sets the interest rate, works to keep prices and the financial system stable, manages the state's foreign-exchange reserves and supervises the banks through its Banking Supervision Division. Unlike a commercial company it is not traded on the stock exchange, so it has no share or revenue chart - it is an independent public institution.
In Israel and abroad
Like other central banks, the Bank of Israel cooperates with international bodies and tracks regulation and policy decisions around the world. In roles like these, looking at markets and regulation beyond Israel's borders is part of the daily work.
How the role works
Processing bond, equity, credit, inflation and interest-rate data at the heart of the central bank - a direct entry into economic data work.
According to the posting, the day includes processing data with analytical tools, complex Excel work, quality controls on financial data, preparing charts for publication and ongoing help to the unit's economists. Strong Excel functions and writing or running Excel macros are mandatory; familiarity with R, SQL, Python or Power Query is an advantage. Work hours are 8:00 to 17:30, in Jerusalem.
Who it is for
For students of economics, business administration, industrial engineering and management or another relevant degree, with at least two years of study remaining (first or second degree), and advanced Excel skills. It suits someone who likes data, precision and order, and wants to see the financial system's data from the inside.
An honest status
This is a temporary student role, not a permanent position: a special contract for temporary employees, up to five years or until the studies end. The portal shows an application deadline but no posting date; we saw the role open on 20.10.2026, and its number (5325) is the highest among the student roles in the list, a sign of a recent opening. Screening runs in parallel with publication, so it is worth applying early.
