The International Monetary Fund has published a new report forecasting an acceleration in Israel’s economic growth alongside a decline in inflation, praising the country’s economy for its “notable resilience.”
According to the authors of the report, Israel’s economy has demonstrated strong underlying fundamentals despite ongoing regional and global challenges. The IMF specifically highlighted recent government policies aimed at improving the business environment and boosting competition in the market.
The report commended steps led by Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich, noting that Israel has taken “a number of measures to enhance competition and facilitate trade,” including reforms to align import procedures with European standards. These moves, the IMF said, are expected to lower costs, improve efficiency, and strengthen long-term growth prospects.
