National expenditure on culture, entertainment and sports in Israel reached nearly 70.61 billion Israeli shekels (around 19.14 billion U.S. dollars) in 2021. Overall, the spending increased during the period under review. A possible explanation for the sudden decline in 2020 might be the outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which led Israel to impose restrictions on cultural institutions and sports events. These figures represent expenditure in all national sectors (business, non-profit, local authorities as well as government & national institutions).
