author: Palestine Economic Policy Research Institute - MAS
year: 2025
Key Messages :
- The PMA has proposed a new cash-limit law to curb large cash transactions and accelerate the shift to digital payments, amid a chronic excess-shekel dilemma and the imminent expiry of the Israeli waiver allowing correspondent banking relations.
- The Palestinian Cabinet approved a shift from net metering to a new net-billing framework for rooftop solar systems, aiming to reform how small PV systems are connected and compensated and to overcome barriers slowing the renewableenergy transition.
- A newly enacted Presidential Decree-Law makes major amendments to the Public Debt Law to expand the PA’s borrowing capacity, regulate sovereign bond issuance, and restructure debt management amid a deepening fiscal crisis.
