BBC World Service - World Business Report, Israel's economy takes a hit from the war in Gaza

What impact has the fighting had on Israeli productivity?

Israel's $500-billion economy has taken a big hit since the war in Gaza started, as thousands of people have left the workforce and gone to serve in the military.

Israel's $500 billion economy has taken a big hit since the war in Gaza started nearly five months ago, as thousands of people have left the workforce and gone to serve in the military. The country's Economy and Industry Minister, Nir Barkat, has told the BBC that winning the war is the top priority for Israel despite the damage to its economy. 

Also in the programme, we speak to women in Ireland about their experiences and opportunities in the workplace and take you through the UK's Spring Budget.
