Despite the ongoing war since October 7, 2023, Israel demonstrates impressive economic results, including stock market growth and increasing investments.
Israel's Economy in Wartime
The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) shows remarkable results after a significant drop of 23% at the beginning of the war. The subsequent rise in the stock market has been the highest ever recorded, exceeding levels achieved before the conflict began. According to analysis from July 17, TASE has soared over 200% compared to figures from October 2023.
Increase in Trading Accounts and Investments
In 2024, 161,000 new trading accounts were opened in Israel's capital market, triple the number opened in 2023. An additional 87,000 new accounts were opened in 2025. TASE reports indicate that this was driven by investors’ desire to take advantage of low prices in the market.
Role of the Tech Sector in Economic Growth
Avi Hasson, CEO of Startup Nation Central, stated that security threats in Israel have significantly decreased, attracting global investors. He emphasized the importance of the tech sector, which accounts for about 20% of the country's GDP and 56% of its exports. Government support for experimentation and development has been central to this achievement.
Israel's economy showcases extraordinary results even amid conflict, attracting investments and strengthening its stock market position through active participation from the tech sector and shifts in market dynamics.
