Israel's economy under Netanyahu better than expected
Some good news has come in about Israel's financial status:
Israel’s economic growth last year exceeded all predictions, boding well for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu who hopes his stewardship of the Jewish state’s strong finances will give him the upper hand against main political challenger Blue and White’s Benny Gantz, Bloomberg News reported.This is precisely why realists should vote for the Likud. It is impressive.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the GDP rose a seasonally adjusted, annualized 4.8 percent last quarter, which is the fastest quarterly rate in two years. At 3.5 percent expansion, 2019 topped 2018 and defied all predictions that growth would plateau as a result of deadlock elections.
