The international rating agency Fitch announced on Tuesday that it has affirmed Israel's credit rating without change. In its statement, the agency noted that the economy's resilience and financial stability continue to support the current rating. Fitch also stated it will continue to closely monitor fiscal developments and the security situation.
In addition to economic data, Fitch extensively addressed the political complexities following the recent election results and the apparent difficulties in forming a coalition government. The agency's economists assess that the most likely scenario given the current political landscape is a repeat election, due to the challenges in achieving a stable majority to form a government.
