JERUSALEM, Jan 15 (Reuters) - Israel posted an inflation rate of 5.3% in 2022, Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics said on Sunday, citing gains of housing, food and transportation and telecommunications prices. The annual rate in December was unchanged from November to remain at its highest level since October 2008 but slightly below expectations of a 5.4% rate in a Reuters poll of analysts and well below Western levels. In a bid to move inflation back to a 1-3% target, the Bank of Israel has sharply raised its benchmark interest rate (ILINR=ECI) to 3.75% from 0.1% in April. Central bank officials have said they expect the rate to reach at least 4% in coming months.

MUMBAI, Dec 26 (Reuters) - India's federal investigating agency has arrested Videocon Group (VEDI.NS) chairman Venugopal Dhoot in connection with a loan fraud case involving ICICI Bank (ICBK.NS), a source from the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) told Reuters on Monday. In early 2019, the CBI filed a case of criminal conspiracy and fraud against Dhoot, former ICICI Bank Chief Executive Chanda Kochhar and her husband Deepak Kochhar.

The CBI arrested Chanda and Deepak Kochhar on Friday. Reporting by Arpan Chaturvedi; writing by Sudipto Ganguly; Editing by Savio D'SouzaOur Standards: The Thomson Reuters Trust Principles.
