Credit rating agency Fitch has warned that the Israeli economy could face political paralysis with significant economic repercussions. In a published document, which is not a formal rating announcement, Fitch noted that the country's current "A" credit rating with a negative outlook could lead to a downgrade in the future. The agency stated that while the current rating is appropriate for now, prolonged political instability and the inability to form a government soon will hinder efforts to reduce Israel's government debt. This debt currently stands at approximately 70% of GDP, up from 60% before the recent conflict. Fitch cautioned against potential political instability in the near future if a government is not formed and new elections are not called.
