As of May 2012, Moody's Analytics Data Buffet offers an expanded national database, sourced from Bank of Israel (BOI) and Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS). Economic sectors include demographics, labor force, real estate and finance. Coverage varies, but certain data are available as often as monthly, with geographic granularity to the sub-regional level.
Table 1 summarizes the new coverage, and table 2 explains the abbreviations for each geographic level. For full detail, please see the catalog sections linked from the list of releases at the end of this article.
The national dataset for Israel is part of the Moody's Analytics Global Database and Asia Database products. Please contact your sales representative for details.

Table 2. Geography levels in our subnational dataset. For example, Israel consists of seven large areas called "districts," which we identify with geo codes having the stereotypical form of IIRL_ followed by four letters.
The patterns will help you create wild card basket retrievals; for example, to fetch births for all districts, use VSBIRTHUA.IISR_^^^^. (The table shows "a" to indicate that all such codes use letters, not digits; but the wild card character is the caret.)
