Israel’s Economy Picks Up for the First Time Since War Began

Israel’s economy accelerated in 2025, after two years of war slammed the brakes on the country’s previously robust activity.

Gross domestic product expanded by 3.1% last year, Israel’s bureau of statistics said Monday, above projections from both the finance ministry and the central bank for 2.8% growth. GDP per capita is now similar to levels seen before the start of the conflict in Gaza.
