For the first time since its establishment, this year the Authority collected over NIS 2.33 billion in direct collections in the enforcement system, compared to NIS 1.76 billion in 2024 – a 32% increase in collections.
At the Center for Collection of Fines, Levies, and Expenses in the Enforcement and Collection Authority, debts totaling NIS 1.31 billion were enforced in 2025, compared to NIS 1.08 billion in 2024 – a 21% increase in collections.
The Authority succeeded in all this, despite no proceedings being taken this year against debtors in reserve service, against citizens injured in the “With the Lion” operation, and while protecting other unique populations.
In 2025, 1.74 million cases were opened at the Authority’s Center for Fine Collection, of which 1.15 million were for traffic fines, of which 41% were for speeding and 10% for mobile phone use.
The Enforcement and Collection Authority, responsible for managing the enforcement system, the Center for Collection of Fines, Levies, and Expenses, the Government Collection Administration, and the Insolvency and Economic Rehabilitation units, is now summarizing extensive activity for 2025. At the beginning of 2026, the Authority continues to show a downward trend in the inventory of open cases in the enforcement systems, from 1.965 million cases in 2024 to an inventory of 1.948 million cases in 2025. In 2025, 359 thousand new enforcement cases were opened at the Authority, a similar magnitude to previous years, and 387 thousand cases were closed.
These impressive results were achieved, among other things, because in 2025 the Authority led active efforts to make its services accessible to the public. The Authority worked with models of “proactive collection” for unique populations, including those affected by the Swords of Iron War and the young debtor population, expanded its remote services, including regular telephone service meetings, implemented technological improvements in the personal areas of enforcement and fine collection, while using artificial intelligence tools. It expanded service stations within certain communities to provide services to the Arab population in the north, increased arrangements within the framework of insolvency and economic rehabilitation proceedings, promoted regional trends whereby enforcement registrars will discuss cases at the debtor level, so that one registrar in each district handles all of the debtor’s cases, seeing the person themselves and the whole picture concerning them. Discussion at the debtor level is also more sensitive and efficient, but no less importantly, it provides a better collection advantage for the creditors.
The Director of the Enforcement and Collection Authority, Mr. Uri Wallerstein, noted on the occasion of summarizing the Authority’s activity data for 2025, stating: “The Enforcement and Collection Authority continues and will continue to operate with professionalism, fairness, efficiency, innovation, and important initiatives, as it did in 2025, while dealing with the implications of the war of resurgence, for debtors and creditors. The Authority concludes 2025 as a record year since its establishment 16 years ago, with a dramatic increase of an additional NIS 800 million in civil and governmental collection. The dedicated service work of the Authority’s managers and employees leads to results that speak for themselves and are a badge of honor for us as a government organization. The Authority will continue, alongside effective action, to show compassion and responsibility, and to assist debtors who find it difficult to pay their debts as much as possible. Thus, the Authority will continue to balance creditors and debtors, streamline governmental collection, and lead further initiatives that will increase the collection rate and also lead to more debtors exiting the debt cycles.”
