FX.co ★ Palestine Trade Gap Widens in September

In September 2025, Palestine experienced an increased trade deficit, reaching USD 491.1 million, compared to USD 431.8 million in the same period the previous year. The spike in exports, which climbed by 48% year-on-year to USD 184.1 million, was primarily due to a 47% surge in exports to Israel—responsible for 90% of all exported goods. Exports to other global markets also saw a significant 55% increase. On the import side, there was a 21% rise to USD 675.2 million. This was attributed to a 12% uptick in goods purchased from countries other than Israel, while imports from Israel rose 28%, making up 64% of the total imports during September.
