CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

We found nothing detrimental on subject and its owner.

 

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 rough diamonds.

 

According to the Ministry of Industry and Trade, the local diamonds branch managed to stabilize the total volume of export of cut diamonds during 2006, a year that witnessed many local and global challenges, and end in the same level as 2005. In rough diamonds a decrease was noted, due to marketing motives, and as high prices made the trade in rough diamonds less attractive.

 

Total (net) export of cut diamonds from Israel in 2006 reached US$ 6.610 billion, a mere decrease of 1.5% from 2005 (US$ 6.709 billion). Exports (net) of rough diamonds were US$ 2.701 billion, a 23.2% decrease from 2005 (US$ 3.517 billion, which was a 20.6% increase from 2004).

 

Import of rough diamonds (net) also fell in 2006 by 11.4% (from 2005) to US$ 4.709 billion, while import of cut diamonds (net) increased in 2006 by 3.3% reaching US$ 4.025 billion.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Good for trade engagements.
