The International Monetary Fund said on Wednesday that Israel's growth will slow in 2023 from a "remarkable" recovery in 2022, but risks are tilted to the downside due to external economic turbulence and uncertainty over the country's judicial reforms that may curtail investment.

In a statement issued at the end of an "Article IV" annual review mission to Jerusalem, the IMF said Israel's monetary policy stance should remain tight given a tight labor market and headline inflation above the central bank's target range.
