Israelis report both dissatisfaction with their financial situation and optimism about their economic future, according to an Israel Central Bureau of Statistics survey as reported by Globes.

Meanwhile, the number of people saying they can't make ends meet every month has declined from 13% in 2013 to 4.7% in 2023. The decline is particularly strong among Haredim, who have dropped from 18% who can't make monthly ends meet in 2003 to 4.8% who can't do so today.
