Netanyahu Praises Israel's "Incredible" Economic Ranking by The Economist

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu lauded Israel's third-place ranking among 36 economies for economic performance, as reported by The Economist. He described the achievement as "incredible," attributing it to "divine aid" and his government's free-market policies. The ranking, published in December 2025, placed Israel behind only Portugal and Ireland, marking a three-place improvement from the previous assessment.

The Economist's evaluation was based on five key indicators: inflation, the extent of consumer price increases, economic growth, employment, and stock market performance. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange was specifically noted as a significant contributor to Israel's strong showing. Netanyahu's remarks highlighted results from 2025, clarifying that this was not a newly released study.

This economic recognition comes as Netanyahu prepares to address the UN. No meeting with Donald Trump is scheduled on the sidelines of his trip.
