The Finance Ministry's June budget execution report, published Wednesday, shows the deficit fell to 3.3% of GDP — a 2.5-year low — reflecting a nearly half-percentage-point annual decline.
The Finance Ministry published its June budget execution report Wednesday afternoon, revealing the deficit dropped to 3.3% of GDP — the lowest level in two and a half years. The annual decline stands at nearly half a percentage point, according to the ministry's data. The figure represents a notable improvement from the 2025 full-year deficit of 4.7%, which the ministry had reported as a positive surprise (as The Zioneer noted on June 24). The improvement comes as Israel continues to manage wartime economic pressures, though the report does not break down June's revenue and spending components. The next monthly report will indicate whether the downward trend is sustained.
