S&P affirms Israel's investment-grade rating on easing security risks tied to ceasefires

Global ratings agency S&P affirmed Israel's sovereign rating at "A/A-1" with a "stable" ‌outlook on Friday, adding that military de-escalation, underpinned by the ceasefire agreements, would lower immediate security risk for the country.

"The outlook reflects our assumption that possible military hostilities will remain episodic and contained, even if tensions between Israel and ⁠Iran and its proxies persist and the broader regional security environment remains fragile," the agency said in a statement.

"Military de-escalation will ease supply-side constraints and push Israel’s real GDP growth to close to 6% ⁠in 2027," S&P said, while cautioning that geopolitical risks the country faces will remain high, despite the de-escalation.
