Despite a marginal increase in economic activity in 2025 compared to 2024, the Palestinian economy remains in a deep recession, with GDP declining by 24 percent compared to 2023. This prolonged downturn reflects the cumulative damage inflicted on the economy due to the ongoing Israeli aggression on the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which has severely undermined productive capacity and disrupted economic activities across sectors. The limited growth in 2025 is attributed to modest improvements in some productive sectors and a partial resumption of commercial activity, but GDP levels remain far below those before the aggression, highlighting a fragile and constrained recovery. The situation has been exacerbated by movement restrictions, economic collapse in Gaza, and ongoing international economic pressures, which continue to hinder reconstruction and sustainable economic revival.
