IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

IMF Raises Israel's 2026 Growth Forecast to 4.5%, Cites AI and Energy Independence

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised Israel's 2026 growth forecast to 4.5%, an increase from its previous 3.5% projection. This figure is higher than the IMF's global growth forecast but lower than Israel's own central bank's predictions. The IMF also anticipates a decrease in Israel's 2026 inflation to 1.8%, while global inflation is expected to rise. The report highlights that a smaller number of economies are driving global growth, with Israel being among them due to its AI connections and reduced energy shock exposure.
