Market capitalization of listed domestic companies as % of GDP CM.MKT.LCAP.GD.ZS
Israel's market capitalization was 52.16% in 2025, ranked 22nd globally. This represents a 14.8% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1979–2025.
Overview
Israel's market capitalization stood at 52.16% in 2025, a decline of +9.07% from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 52.16% by 2025. Israel ranked 22nd globally.
Israel’s market capitalization rose from 11.23 in 1979 to a record 127.28 in 2007, before falling to a trough of 10.29 in 1988, illustrating the volatility of its equity sector over the 47‑year span. After the 2007 peak, the value contracted sharply during the global financial crisis and has since stabilized, reaching 52.16 in 2025, which places Israel 22nd among world economies. This level is comparable to peer economies such as Indonesia, whose market cap stands at 55.39, and China at 51.95, indicating that Israel’s equity market size is now aligned with other emerging‑market giants despite its smaller population. The post‑crisis recovery reflects a gradual deepening of domestic capital markets, increased foreign investor participation, and the growth of high‑technology firms that dominate the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange. Continued innovation, further integration with global investors, and potential regulatory reforms could sustain the upward trajectory, while adverse external shocks or domestic policy constraints might reverse the trend.
