Palestine’s government spending at constant prices fell for four straight years, from $3.5 billion in 2021 to $2 billion in 2025, a decline of 43%.
Growth in GDP per person also fell, declining for three straight years from 4.41% in 2021 to -24.7% in 2024. The finding reported a decline of 29 percentage points.
The discrepancy in the expenditure estimate of GDP, measured in constant local currency, increased from -350.80 million in 2022 to -118.60 million in 2025. The finding recorded a sustained increase over four consecutive years, totaling 232,200,000, but was later replaced by a newer version.
The findings published in Q3 2026 documented multiyear declines in government spending and GDP-per-person growth, alongside an increase in the reported expenditure discrepancy over a different interval. They did not provide monthly observations or establish a sequence of movements within Q3 2026.
The findings were statistically detected from multilateral sources and checked before publication; the supplied material did not name those sources. This brief covered findings published in Q3 2026.
