CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject's General Manager refused to disclose financial data.

 

During 2010 and 2011 local diamond companies have been recovering from one of the worst depressions in the global diamond sector due to the severe economic crisis in global markets that erupted in September 2008. The diamond sector experienced almost an entire freeze and collapse in sales of about 70% in the peak of the crisis and 2009 export diamonds shrank by some 40%. Only since mid 2009 a mild recovery has been felt (in some markets, such as the American, it is estimated that it will take long time till fully recovering) and continued throughout 2010, into 2011. In 2011 first quarter, a significant improvement was recorded, although still well below 2007 and 2008 first 3 quarters levels.

According to the President of the Israeli Diamonds Association, local diamond sector in general managed to cross the crisis, despite the sheer difficulties, including the fact that local banks contracted credit given to local diamond firms. The President said that trade in the sector rolls annual turnover of US$ 25 billion while total debt to the banks stands on US$ 1.5 billion, down from US$ 2.4 billion in the eve of the crisis. The Ministry for Industry & Trade also assisted the local diamond exporters by providing bank guarantees in total scope of NIS 1 billion.
