Over the past 12 months, inflation has reached 3.5% and is above the Central Bank&#8217;s target range (1-3%).\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) consumer price index shows a 4.3% increase in food prices since October 2023 and in particular 12.2% for fruits and vegetables alone, mainly from the Gaza envelope. On the real estate market, housing prices have increased sharply (+7% since the beginning of the year).\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe Central Bank is pursuing a restrictive monetary policy that is intended to be prudent; on November 25, it decided to maintain the key rate at 4.5% for the 7th consecutive time to stabilize the markets.\n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nWar-related spending has widened the deficit but debt remains sustainable. The deficit\/GDP ratio stands at -7.7% of GDP in November y\/y. \n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe stock of public debt increased to 68% of GDP in 2024. This level is considered sustainable by the government, which had room for maneuver by benefiting from a low level of pre-war debt (OECD average at 78%).\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":114,"featured_media":38134,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[5774,5754,5789,6095,5751,5808,6261,6597,5842,5809],"location":[5647],"class_list":["post-48290","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-agriculture","tag-business","tag-construction","tag-debt","tag-economy","tag-government","tag-imf","tag-palestine","tag-tourism","tag-war","location-israel-2"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4ftodIV","have_related_news":"","chapo":"After a year of war, the fundamentals of the Israeli economy remain solid.
