联合国贸易发展委员会-被占领巴勒斯坦领土经济的发展（英）-2023-16页_300kb

In 2022, the Occupied Palestinian Territory faced severe economic deterioration due to political tensions, security crises, and occupation-related restrictions. Real GDP growth was weak, hovering below pre-pandemic levels, with high unemployment (24% overall) and extreme poverty affecting two-thirds of Gaza's population. Key challenges included trade dependency on Israel, high import costs, limited access to global markets, and restrictions on movement and investment, leading to a trade deficit of 48% of GDP. Gaza experienced a humanitarian crisis, with GDP per capita declining, frequent military operations, and severe infrastructure damage, resulting in one of the world's highest unemployment rates and widespread poverty.

UNCTAD's assistance focuses on assessing economic costs, providing technical support, and promoting reforms to build institutional capacity. Activities include updating econometric models, satellite-based impact analysis, and projects on trade facilitation and fiscal management. UNCTAD recommends ending occupation-related restrictions, increasing donor aid, reuniting Gaza with the West Bank, and strengthening the Palestinian Government's fiscal position to foster sustainable development.
