SHELY DANIEL DIAMONDS
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 (over 50%). The secondary markets are Hong Kong (around 20%), Belgium (around 10%), Switzerland and the UK.
Since the beginning of 2007, import rough diamonds to Israel noted a 7.8% decrease comparing to the parallel period in 2006, 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 reported 11.7% increase in import of polished diamonds in January 2007.
In the first 2 months of 2007, export (net) of cut diamonds rose by 9.2% comparing to the parallel period in 2006, summing up to US$ 1.349 billion. Export of rough diamonds (net) also witnessed an increase.
