Since the beginning of the year, the state's revenues have already amounted to 427.9 billion shekels, compared to 373.6 billion shekels in 2021, when at the beginning of that year there was still the third lockdown resulting from the spread of the corona virus. This is a very significant increase of 14.5% in the collection of state revenues during this period this year. Tax revenues totaled NIS 33.9 billion
Government expenditures from the beginning of 2022 reached NIS 398.3 billion, of which NIS 6.2 billion resulted from expenditures for the economic aid program to deal with the Corona crisis. Excluding the expenses of the economic aid program, this is an increase of 5.6%. It should be noted that the cumulative performance of the economic aid program for the Corona crisis reached NIS 178.9 billion.
