The OECD projects that Israel will lead the entire developed world in economic growth in 2026 and 2027, highlighting the country’s extraordinary resilience after the war.
In today's Ma'ariv article, they report that Israel is set to deliver the strongest economic performance in the entire OECD, according to a new report released this month. The organization projects that Israel’s economy will surge by 4.9% in 2026—after already expanding 3.3% this year—and continue with an impressive 4.6% growth rate in 2027. No other OECD country is expected to come close.
The OECD is an international organization of developed countries that works to promote economic growth, stability, and cooperation through research, policy coordination, and shared standards.
By comparison, OECD-wide growth remains sluggish: 1.7% in 2025, 1.7% in 2026, and 1.8% in 2027. Global growth for those years stands at 3.2%, 2.9%, and 3.1% respectively.
