Jerusalem, 16 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) — Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics reported a slight improvement in business activity in March 2026, though overall sentiment remains cautious amid ongoing economic uncertainty.
According to the Business Tendency Survey, balances reflecting current business conditions and expectations showed modest gains compared to previous months, with some sectors reporting stabilization after earlier weakness. However, many firms continue to cite demand constraints and operational challenges as key limitations on activity.
The survey also indicated mixed trends across industries, with certain service sectors showing improvement while others lag behind. Overall, the data point to a gradual recovery in business sentiment, but one that remains fragile and uneven across the economy.
