Banking expert Mohammed Salameh said the slight decline in the cost-of-living index in the West Bank between September and October does not mean that purchasing power has improved, since household incomes have fallen and unemployment has risen while prices remain high. He added that rising energy and transportation costs—including diesel reaching around 9 shekels per liter and a gas cylinder costing about 94 shekels—are adding to the pressure on households, despite the possibility that prices may stabilize or edge down for some goods. He stressed that a genuine improvement in purchasing power requires addressing falling incomes and unemployment and stimulating the economy, not merely a decline in the price index.
