The Melnick State of the Israeli Economy Index Update
The Melnick State of the Israeli Economy Index decreased by 0.1% in September 2025, reflecting a moderation in business sector activity.
There is a noticeable moderation in business sector activity. The revenue in economic branches, which represents domestic demand and primarily private consumption, is at a level like that of May, the month before the war with Iran. In contrast, there is some recovery in industrial activity, as evident in the increase in the industrial production index, which represents the supply side of the business sector.
The import index, which primarily consists of inputs for domestic production, rose and may reflect expectations for an end to the fighting in Gaza. The increase in the number of employee posts in the business sector reflects compensation for the decline that occurred in the month of the fighting with Iran.
September Index Components:
• Industrial Production Index: Up 5.5% in August, after a 10.5% increase in July.
• Revenue in economic branches: Down 2.8% in August, after a 13.0% increase in July.
• Import Index: Up 1.9% in September, after an 8.9% decrease in August
• Number of employee posts in the business sector: Up 1.2% in July, after a 2.4% decrease in June.
