CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject's official refused to disclose any data on his company.

 

Subject is a small business.

 

The diamonds branch has been recuperating from the deep crisis it got into during 2005/6, the worst one for decades, which affected the profitability of Israeli diamond businesses.

 

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.

 

The USA is the main market for Israel’s export of cut diamonds (over 50%). The secondary markets are Hong Kong (around 18%), Belgium (around 8%), Switzerland (7%) and the UK (4%).

 

During the first half of 2007, import rough diamonds (net) to Israel noted a 5.4% increase comparing to the parallel period in 2006, summing at US$ 2.41 billion. Import of cut diamonds also rose by 5.2% up to US$ 1.96 billion.

 

In the first half of 2007, export of cut diamonds rose by 6% (mainly thanks to April sales) comparing to the parallel period in 2006, summing up to US$ 3.59 billion. Export of rough diamonds (net) also witnessed an increase of 22% to US$ 1.74 billion.
