Overall, price levels are witnessing sharp fluctuations between increases and decreases in the Gaza Strip, linked to the developments of the Israeli aggression, and are not the result of market interactions; therefore, their effect on the general index for Palestinian territories is significant. These data must be taken into account when reading the producer price index and average price, considering the specificity of this exceptional phase. Moreover, due to the sharp geographical variance in data, the average prices in Palestinian territories cannot be effectively used, as they are significantly affected by price fluctuations in Gaza.
