00:00 With the ongoing war on Gaza, the trustworthy classification agency Moody's is lowering
00:07 the trustworthiness classification for Israel for the first time in its history.
00:11 How will this affect the Israeli economy?
00:15 So, at the beginning, we point out that Moody's has lowered the trustworthiness classification
00:19 for Israel from A1 to A2 with a negative future outlook.
00:23 The negative future outlook also means that Moody's can lower the trustworthiness classification
00:30 for Israel again.
00:31 Of course, this is due to the claims of the war on Gaza, which today doubts that Israel
00:38 can fulfill its financial obligations.
00:41 In this context, we point out that Moody's expected to raise the debt levels in Israel
00:46 from the expectations of the war on Gaza.
00:53 In this context, we also point out that the defensive spending of Israel was recorded
00:59 double than what was recorded in 2022.
01:02 These are the expectations of 2024 by Moody's.
01:05 Today, the ongoing war on Gaza can, according to Moody's, lead to a rise in the interest
01:12 rates in Israel on loans that can be accepted by families and companies.
01:19 In this context, we also point out that today, the trustworthiness classification indicates
01:25 the possibility of doubling the share in exchange for the dollar.
01:29 Today, the currency in Israel is also under the pressures of the war that is raging on Gaza.
01:36 In this context, we also point out that it is expected that the economic growth in Israel
01:42 will decrease by 2% compared to 2023 and 2024.
01:47 In this context, we also point out that the war will cost Israel about 13.8 billion dollars,
01:55 which is up to the first quarter of 2024.
01:59 These are the estimates of the Israeli Ministry of Finance.
02:02 And so the question remains, will Moody's really be a new time to lower the trustworthiness
02:08 classification of Israel?
