Conflict in Israel has limited economic implications: Moody s ANI | Updated: May 24, 2021 12:47 IST
London [UK], May 24 (ANI): Given the long-standing resilience of the Israeli economy to geopolitical developments, Moody s Investors Service expects heightened conflict with Hamas militants in Palestine to have only a modest impact on the country s economic recovery from the pandemic and on the government s near-term fiscal metrics.
However, Moody s said the violence risks further complicating efforts to assemble a stable majority coalition government which will have negative implications for both elaboration of an effective post-crisis fiscal strategy and implementation of wider structural reforms.
As such, it does not expect the events to materially disrupt Israel s robust economic recovery which will remain supported by rapid vaccination progress and a strong pre-pandemic macroeconomic position.
