Israel’s Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) released the data on the exits of the country’s exits for the years 2010 – 2022. There is a reason why Israel has been dubbed “Startup Nation.”
The data, however, shows that the number of exits dropped in 2022 over 2021; even though, the world had finally exited the Covid crisis. This may be attributed to the global financial crisis related to the Russian Invasion of Ukraine and other factors.
