Israel Economic Outlook
October 3, 2017
Revised data confirmed that the Israeli economy grew at a much higher rate in Q2 compared to the previous quarter, despite a slight downward revision to the initial estimate. The expansion was driven by solid growth in private consumption and fixed investment; exports, however, contracted sharply. Indicators for the third quarter show that the economy is continuing its solid performance: Unemployment fell in July, which bodes well for private consumption, while in August business confidence remained high and the State of the Economy index rose again. In early September, Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet approved a five-year USD 32.4 billion infrastructure plan. The plan is aimed at increasing productivity and the growth potential of the economy.Israel Economy Data

October 3, 2017

A potential flare-up in the Israel-Palestine conflict and a tight housing market present risks to the downside. FocusEconomics panelists expect growth of 3.3% in 2017. For 2018, the panel projects GDP growth will be 3.4%, down 0.1 percentage points from last month.Israel Economic News
