Palestinian Prime Minister-designate Muhammad Mustafa inherits thorny economic issues. The most prominent of which is the reconstruction of the Gaza Strip after the Israeli war, which has not yet ended.
In addition to reconstruction, the next government will be set to restore the momentum of the West Bank's economy. The Palestinian economy declined sharply in the last quarter of 2023, by more than 20%, amid a decline in financial revenues collected locally. To solve the wage bill crisis, the government will have harsh solutions, including opening the door to compulsory or voluntary early retirement.
