israel - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Israel has a technologically advanced market economy. It depends on imports of crude oil, grains, raw materials, and military equipment. Cut diamonds, high-technology equipment, and agricultural products (fruits and vegetables) are the leading exports. Israel usually posts sizable trade deficits, which are covered by tourism and other service exports, as well as significant foreign investment inflows. The global financial crisis of 2008-09 spurred a brief recession in Israel, but the country entered the crisis with solid fundamentals - following years of prudent fiscal policy and a resilient banking sector. The economy has recovered better than most advanced, comparably sized economies. In 2010, Israel formally acceded to the OECD. Natural gasfields discovered off Israel's coast during the past two years have brightened Israel's energy security outlook. The Leviathan field was one of the world's largest offshore natural gas finds this past decade. In mid-2011, public protests arose around income inequality and rising housing and commodity prices. The government formed committees to address some of the grievances but has maintained that it will not engage in deficit spending to satisfy populist demands.

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

Subject is ISO 9001:2008 certified.

 

In general, indicators in 2011 of the building sector –similar to the trend of the local economy- were positive, continuing the improvement from 2010 after the slow-down in 2009. Investment in the local building branch rose by 5.9% in 2010 and by 9.2% in 2011. Investment in construction for dwelling rose by 13.4% in 2011(divided into rise of 13.1% by private building and 17.8% by public building), after rising of 12.7% in 2010 and 8.3% in 2009. Investment in construction not for dwelling and other construction works (e.g. roads, offices, industrial, institutional) grew by 4.4% in 2011(after 11% rise in 2010).

Consumption expenditure by households in 2011 on Housing and on Housing Equipment grew by 2.8% and by 20%, respectively, in annual calculation (grew by 2.5% and 7.5%, respectively, in 2010 from 2009).

 

Volume of building starts for dwelling (which is an indicator for the trend in the building sector) in 2011 marked 9% increase from 2010, reaching 43,385 new apartments (after 7% rise from 2009), but a sharp decrease has been noted in the first 3 quarters of 2012. In fact, since the 3rd quarter of 2011 building starts per quarter marked an average decrease of 6.7%, after 5 consecutive quarters of growth (4.2% in average).

Number of dwellings transactions fell 17% in 2011 from 2010, after rising over the last years.

Housing prices over the last years kept rising due to the shortage in supply of new apartments, much due to structural fault in the allocation of plots in State hands. The Israeli Government initiated several reforms designed to drive prices down in one hand, and increase supply on the other, which for a period (since mid 2011) drove prices down in many areas. Yet, since 2012 2nd quarter demand –and prices- stabilized and started rising again.

The building contractors blame the high inputs costs and the lack of adequate financial accompanying for the projects by the banking sector (which derives also from the slow-down in economy in general).

 

The slow-down in apartments and houses sales has been having its negative effects on suppliers to the housing and construction branches. On the other hand, the homes renovation branch has been in a growing trend over the last periods.
