Israel’s industrial sector showed tentative signs of stabilization in July 2026, with industrial output contracting by 0.2% month-over-month, according to data updated on 24 September 2026. The latest figure marks a softer decline than in June 2026, when industrial production fell by 0.5% compared with the previous month.
The month-over-month comparison indicates that while the sector remains in negative territory, the pace of contraction has slowed. In June, the “previous” indicator reflected a steeper month-on-month pullback, whereas July’s “actual” reading points to a moderation in the downturn. Market participants will be watching upcoming data releases to see whether this easing signals the start of a more sustained improvement in Israel’s industrial activity or merely a temporary pause in the sector’s weakness.
