CHARACTER AND
REPUTATION
Nothing unfavorable
learned.
Mr. Gabriel
Bareli, subject's General Manager and partner, refused to update financial
data.
According to the
Diamond Administration Director, year 2007 was full of challenges to the global
diamond branch, but the Israeli diamond branch coped with it well.
It should be noted
that Israeli diamond dealers note some slowdown in activities since mid 2007,
attributed to the sub-prime crisis in the U.S markets.
Year 2007 marked a
record in the export of cut diamonds from Israel, with net sales for export of
US$ 7.076 billion, 7% rise from 2006 (US$ 6.611 billion). Total export of cut
and rough diamonds crossed for the first time the US$ 12 billion line. Exports
(net) of rough diamonds were US$ 3.386 billion, a 25.5% increase from 2006 (US$
2.701 billion, which was a 23.2% decrease from 2005).
Import of rough
diamonds (net) rose 8% in 2007 by (from 2006) to US$ 5.084 billion, while
import of cut diamonds (net) also increased in 2007 by 13.3% reaching US$ 4.558
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 (6%) and
India (1.5%).
SUMMARY
Notwithstanding
the refusal to update financial details, considered good for trade engagements.
