A blow to the Israeli economy .. This is what the Iran war did

The American “Bloomberg” agency reported that the Israeli economy declined in the second quarter of the year 2025, noting that the war between Israel and Iran has led to a complete closure of many Israeli companies.

The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics reported that the gross domestic product decreased by 3.5% on an annual basis, with a seasonal amendment, which is less than the average growth estimates of 0.2% in a survey conducted by the agency for 6 economists.
The Central Bureau of Statistics acknowledged, in a statement, that the war on Iran had the greatest influence on private consumer spending, which decreased by 4.1%, and the formation of the total fixed capital, which decreased by 12.3%. The GDP of the business sector decreased significantly by 6.2%, and the per capita GDP decreased by 4.4%, which is the lowest level in the units entity.

Bloomberg pointed out that the Israeli operation in Gaza, which requires calling tens of thousands of reserve forces in the Israeli army, is an additional challenge to the economy of “Israel”.
“The Bank of Israel estimated a 4% deficit in GDP compared to the pre -war growth line, which is equivalent to about 80 billion shekels.”
Menachem considered that these “numbers today indicate bridging this gap”, denying the possibility that “these numbers will affect the central bank’s decision on interest rates next Wednesday.” (Al -Mayadeen Net)
