Palestinian public debt increased considerably in 2020, reaching two-thirds of GDP at the end of April 2021. The significant budgetary shock, triggered by the crisis of clearances returned, duties and taxes collected on behalf of the Palestinian Authority by Israel on its imports and which it refused to collect in response to threats of annexation in the West Bank, led to rapid growth in debt from May 2020, contracted in particular with the local banking system. The health crisis has added a negative growth shock to this degraded environment, to the point of constituting a challenge for debt sustainability.
