The Bank of Israel has presented its first growth forecast that excludes overseas production, a move Governor Amir Yaron explained would more accurately reflect the Israeli economy's internal dynamics. Yaron addressed the impact of foreign production on GDP during a press conference on Wednesday, where the central bank announced it would keep the interest rate at 3.25%. Overseas production has become increasingly significant for the Israeli economy, particularly in the last six months, largely due to revenues generated by Nvidia.
