The score shows investors if the country can repay its debts. A high rating helps a country raise money at a lower interest rate.
S&P said that the Israeli economy is still strong. They praised the achievements of Israeli high-tech. The company predicts that Israel will grow by about five percent this year. This forecast is higher than that of the Bank of Israel and the Ministry of Finance. However, the company warned that defense expenses could harm growth.
Since the beginning of the war, Israel's rating has already been downgraded twice. But now S&P thinks that the immediate risk has decreased.
