Israel raised $2.7 billion from the sale of bonds at the beginning of the Gaza war. Since the launch of the war on the Gaza Strip, Israeli bonds have made a vital contribution to the Israeli economy.
The Israeli Central Bureau of Statistics said earlier this March that the economy contracted by 20.7% on an annual basis in the last three months of 2023, after a decline of 19.4% in its initial estimate. In all of 20 23, the economy grew by 2%, without adjustment, compared to the 6.5% growth recorded in 2022.
