With the upheaval in the markets, is it the right time to make investments?

But soon, dramatic events such as Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the rising food prices began putting pressure on investors.

Loans became more expensive and prudent investments started to be more attractive.

When the US Federal Reserve announced its plans - mainly to raise interest rates and fight inflation - the investment indexes of the capital markets soared almost overnight.

2022 was the first year when the average mortgage price crossed the one million Shekel mark. As in a butterfly effect, as soon as the initial gust of wind began, great panic gripped many investors, and households looked for additional income that would provide them with financial security.

On the other hand, perhaps due to the strength of the Israeli Shekel and Israel’s economy, our country is in a relatively safe position compared to the rest of the world. However, already over the last few months the housing market has recorded a significant decrease of over 20% in the purchase of new homes compared to the same period last year.

Needless to say, the overall geopolitical chaos in Israel which consisted of five (!)

election campaigns in a little more than three years, and the fact that no budget was approved for the country during that period, has created an urgent need to pass laws and has led to significant price increases. This has greatly contributed to a state of uncertainty, and business investors as well as individuals have been looking for a wise solution to achieve safer investments.

If we take, for example, the fact that the coal price increase has led the Electric Company to announce almost immediately that it would raise electricity prices by about 8.5%, we can see that it was inevitable that one of the largest electricity consumers in Israel (Mekorot) would also be required to raise water prices.

In a world of investment uncertainty, there was hope when the government decided that citizens could now produce electricity domestically. As an example, Teralight Solar Tech from Menorah Energy now offers smart investment programs that consist of a solar roof on a private house. These systems are sometimes offered with a full financing route (the leasing program) and can also be done as a private investment with an extraordinary return.

Many private households guarantee themselves decent and well-planned financial security with the help of an expert energy consultant that Teralight provides.
