Israel Government Revenue
General government revenue as % of GDP GGR_NGDP
Israel's government revenue was 37.42% in 2025, ranked 48th globally. This represents a 5.3% increase from 2024. Data from IMF WEO, covering 2000–2025.
Overview
Israel's government revenue stood at 37.42% in 2025, a rise of +1.89% from 2024. The IMF projects 37.42% by 2025. Israel ranked 48th globally.
Israel’s government revenue as a share of GDP fell from an all‑time peak of 42.61 percent in 2000 to a trough of 34.11 percent in 2020, before rising again to 37.42 percent in 2025, placing the country 48th globally. The 26‑year series shows a long‑term downward bias, interrupted by a modest recovery in the post‑pandemic period that brings Israel’s revenue level close to that of New Zealand (37.39 percent) and just below Japan (37.38 percent). The decline from 2000 to 2020 reflects both fiscal consolidation and the impact of slower economic growth, while the recent uptick aligns with higher tax collections and expanded public spending on security and social programs. Continued improvement will depend on the sustainability of fiscal reforms and the ability to broaden the tax base, suggesting that further modest gains in the revenue‑to‑GDP ratio are plausible if economic growth remains resilient.
