CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learnt.

 

Subject's official refused to disclose any data on their business.

 

Subject is a small business.

 

According to a report from November 2006, the diamonds branch is on the verge of a significant recuperation after the deep crisis it got into, the worst one for decades, which affected the profitability of Israeli diamond businesses. World sales towards Thanksgiving Day grew by 10% comparing to 2005. That already led to a rise in raw diamonds.

 

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, a recovery has also been noted in October 2006 in total (net) diamonds export, amounting to US$ 611 million, which represents a 58.5% increase comparing to October 2005. However, total export of the first 10 months of 2006 is much similar to the export in the same period in 2005: US$ 5.54 billion.

 

In the first half of 2006, total (net) diamonds export reached US$ 4.43 billion, which represents a 1.6% increase comparing to the parallel period in 2005.  Imports of rough diamonds in the first half of 2006 decreased by 22.1%.

 

Total (net) export of cut diamonds from Israel in 2005 reached US$ 6.706 billion, 5.8% increase from 2004. Exports of rough diamonds were US$ 3.51 billion, 20.6% increase from 2004.

 

Import of rough diamonds also increased in 2005 by 3.2% to US$ 5.31 billion and imports of cut diamonds increased by 9.3% reaching US$ 4.508 billion.

 

The USA is the main market for Israel’s export of cut diamonds (59%). The secondary markets are Hong Kong (17%), Belgium (8%), Switzerland (2%) and the UK (2%).
