Israel: Net domestic credit (current LCU)

Key figures

Since 1960 it is up 2.02 billion% from 110,000 in 1960 (29.53% a year on average, compounded). The World Bank has no value for 3 of the years in between; the chart leaves those gaps open rather than joining across them.

What the numbers say

In 2025, Israel's net domestic credit (current LCU) rose 15.3% on 2024 (from 1.92 trillion to 2.22 trillion).

Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1991 to 2024), the average change was +8.5% and a typical year strayed about 5.9% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 1.2 standard deviations above that average, so it was larger than a typical year, though not out of the range seen before.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 526.9% in 1984 and the biggest yearly fall was 8.3% in 1962. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
