Local diamond

to the recession in the U.S. markets, according to reports. The American market
has been the No. 1 export market and the crisis in the U.S. market affects

dramatically. There are reports on delays in payments from clients, causing a
cash flow problem to some companies.

2007) in the export of cut diamonds was noticed, caused mainly by the However,

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
