S&P economists estimate that without further broad military escalation, the macroeconomic consequences will be limited and the Israeli economy will begin to recover from the second half of 2026.
Accountant General Michal Abadi-Boyanjo said after the end of the Sabbath: "Recent geopolitical developments support a decrease in the level of immediate risk, and the approval of the rating at this time reflects confidence in the strength of the Israeli economy and its ability to cope even in complex times.".
""The combination of strong fiscal performance, stable financial markets, and an innovative and diverse economy continues to strengthen investor confidence in Israel. We continue to act consistently and responsibly to maintain fiscal frameworks, prudently manage government debt and its composition, and strengthen market confidence.".
