CHARACTER AND REPUTATION
Nothing
unfavorable learnt.
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.
The USA is the
main market for Israel’s export of cut diamonds (around 60%). The secondary
markets are Hong Kong (15%), Belgium (7%), Switzerland (5%) and the UK (2%).
Import rough
diamonds noted a 23.7% decrease in January 2007, due to a shortage in world
markets, following the lowering in sales by DE BEERS and the tough winter in
Africa that hurt mining. Nevertheless, the officials in the branch report a
11.7% increase in import of polished diamonds in January 2007.
SUMMARY
Good for trade
engagements.
