ISRAELI INFLATION RATE IS 1.0 PCT IN FEBRUARY Israel's inflation rate for February was one pct, compared to 2.1 pct in January and 1.6 pct in February 1986, a spokesman for the Central Bureau of Statistics said. Inflation for the 12 months ending in February was 23 pct, the spokesman said. February price rises were mostly in housing, health, education, entertainment and transport. Wage and price controls have been in force since August 1985. Officials said the controls have helped soften the effect of a recent 10 pct devaluation of the shekel.
