Note:
The data of the West Bank doesn’t cover those parts of Jerusalem which were annexed by Israel in 1967.
NB:
1. Gaza Strip data is not available.
2. The difference in the percentage change in major groups of road, construction, water networks, and sewage networks cost index is due to the nature compositions of these major groups.
