Consumers face increasing financial pressure in 2025 as everyday expenses climb
The Israeli economy continued to face significant strain in 2025, driven by ongoing political instability due to the conflicts with Hamas and Iran. Economic uncertainty persisted throughout the early summer, with inflation fluctuating (rising from 3.1% in May to 3.3% in June before easing back to 3.1% in July) despite earlier optimism that conditions were stabilising. Although the Bank of Israel projected annual inflation of 1-3%, it had already exceeded this target by mid-year. As a result, the government remains under pressure to curb inflation and address growing public concern over the rising cost of living.
