GDP per person was NIS 208.6 thousand in 2025
The Central Bureau of Statistics states GDP per person for 2025 as NIS 208.6 thousand at current prices. That is the figure in the currency and the units the Bureau published, and this page gives it in that form without conversion.
Current prices mean the figure is measured in the shekels of 2025 itself. It is a nominal level, not adjusted for price changes, which is why the Bureau reports the year’s growth separately, at constant prices.
- Level: NIS 208.6 thousand per person.
- Price basis: current prices, 2025.
- Vintage: second estimate, published 10 March 2026.
- Release: media release 073/2026, in Hebrew, with an English title.
Real GDP per person rose 1.6% after falling 0.3% in 2024
The Central Bureau of Statistics recorded a real rise of 1.6% in GDP per person in 2025, after a fall of 0.3% in 2024. Both are changes at constant prices, so they measure growth in output per person with the effect of price changes removed.
For comparison, the release cites an OECD forecast of 1.3% average growth in GDP per person across OECD countries in 2025. The 1.3% is the OECD’s forecast as the Bureau quotes it, not a measured outturn.
| Measure | Figure | Period | Kind of number |
|---|---|---|---|
| Israel, real GDP per person | 1.6% | 2025 | Bureau second estimate |
| Israel, real GDP per person | Fall of 0.3% | 2024 | Bureau estimate |
| OECD average, GDP per person | 1.3% | 2025 | OECD forecast, cited by the Bureau |
Total GDP reached NIS 2,108 billion, a real rise of 2.9%
The Central Bureau of Statistics puts total GDP at NIS 2,108 billion in 2025, a real rise of 2.9%, after 1.0% in 2024. The per-person figure is the total spread across the population, so the two growth rates differ by the population’s own growth.
The release sets the 2.9% total and the 1.6% per person beside population growth of 1.4% in 2025. In 2024, real total growth of 1.0% sat beside a fall of 0.3% per person.
| Measure | 2024 | 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Real change in total GDP | 1.0% | 2.9% |
| Real change in GDP per person | Fall of 0.3% | 1.6% |
| Change in prices of domestic product | Not banked | 2.1% |
| Population growth | Not banked | 1.4% |

The prices of domestic product, the GDP deflator, rose 2.1% in 2025. The deflator measures price change across everything produced in the economy, and is the measure that separates the nominal level from the real growth rate.
Is the NIS 208.6 thousand figure final?
It is not final: the Central Bureau of Statistics published NIS 208.6 thousand as its second estimate for 2025, on 10 March 2026. The second estimate replaced a first estimate of 16 February 2026.
| Estimate | Published | GDP per person | Real GDP growth |
|---|---|---|---|
| First estimate | 16 February 2026 | NIS 208.9 thousand | 3.1% |
| Second estimate | 10 March 2026 | NIS 208.6 thousand | 2.9% |
The release states that the next estimate was due on 16 April 2026. National accounts figures are revised as fuller data arrive, so a 2025 figure carries the date and number of the release it comes from.
No dollar figure appears in the Bureau’s per-person release
The Central Bureau of Statistics states GDP per person in its 2025 second estimate in NIS thousand at current prices only. The release gives no US-dollar figure and no purchasing-power figure.
A dollar figure for Israel’s 2025 GDP per person, whether in current dollars or adjusted for inflation, rests on an exchange rate or a price adjustment that this release does not print. Such a figure is not the Bureau’s, and cannot be attributed to this release.
- Currency in the release: new Israeli shekels.
- Units: thousands of shekels per person.
- Exchange rate printed: none.
- Purchasing-power figure printed: none.
Which figures here may not be combined?
The NIS 208.6 thousand is a nominal level at current prices, and the 1.6% is a real change at constant prices, so one is not derived from the other. Dividing a 2025 level by a 2024 level does not give the real growth rate, and the release used here prints no 2024 level. The 2.9%, 1.6% and 1.4% are each stated by the Central Bureau of Statistics; no further subtraction between them is printed. The OECD’s 1.3% is a forecast quoted by the Bureau, not an outturn.
