Country Economic Forecasts - Israel
Our forecast for Israel’s GDP growth has been raised to 5.5% for 2022 and 3.5% in 2023, following higher than expected 7.8% GDP growth in 2021, led by a rapid decline in new cases of Covid-19, relaxation of travel restrictions and strong investment in the technology sector. Alongside this, new government plans to assist households facing higher living costs are expected to strengthen consumer spending. As of 27 February, daily Covid-19 cases were down to 10,514 from the January 2022 peak of 212,234. This can be attributed to Israel’s successful vaccination program, with 66.4% of the population fully inoculated, growing herd immunity and ongoing fourth-round booster jabs.
