After a sharp contraction earlier this year, Israel’s economy roared back to life in the third quarter of 2025, posting an impressive 12.4% annualized growth, according to preliminary data released by the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS).
The rebound was powered by a surge in business activity, private consumption, and investment, marking a strong recovery from the second quarter downturn triggered by the conflict with Iran.
Business sector GDP soared 14.9%, while private consumption jumped 23%, reflecting renewed consumer confidence. Meanwhile, investment in fixed assets spiked 36.9%, signalling growing optimism across industries.
“The sharp increase in GDP in the third quarter reflects a significant rebound in private consumption, exports, and investment following major declines earlier in the year,” the CBS said in its statement.

The strong recovery underscores the resilience of Israel’s economy despite geopolitical challenges, and points to a potential full-year rebound as domestic demand and exports continue to strengthen.
