Growth revised upwards

The Israeli economy is now estimated to have grown at an annualized rate of 3.6% in the first quarter.

Israel's GDP rose at an annualized rate of 3.6% in the first quarter of 2010, compared with the fourth quarter of 2009.

The figures are based on a second estimate of GDP. In the initial calculation, GDP was reported to rise only 3.3%.

In any case, the rise in GDP is still slower than the pace in the fourth quarter of last year, when it rose 4.5%.
