Israel's credit to gdp was 73.21% in 2025, ranked 32nd globally. This represents a 5.3% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Israel's credit to gdp stood at 73.21% in 2025, a rise of +3.66% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 73.21% by 2025. Israel ranked 32nd globally.
Israel’s credit to GDP ratio has risen markedly from an all‑time trough of 11.40 in 1960 to an all‑time peak of 77.16 in 2002, reflecting expanding access to external financing as the economy diversified and integrated into global markets. Over the 65‑year span the indicator continued its upward trajectory, reaching 73.21 in 2025, which places Israel 32nd in the world and just below peers such as the Netherlands at 76.84 and Brazil at 75.79. The post‑2000 surge coincided with heightened fiscal deficits and large‑scale infrastructure projects, while the modest decline from the 2002 peak suggests a gradual consolidation of debt levels amid tighter global credit conditions. The persistence of a high credit‑to‑GDP ratio indicates that Israel remains reliant on borrowing to fund growth, but a shift toward fiscal surplus or stronger domestic savings could temper future increases and stabilize the trajectory.
