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

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject’s Finance Manger refused to disclose financial data, besides stock evaluation figures.

 

Subject is a long established company.

 

It should be noted that the local Textile Industry has been facing difficulties bringing to the contraction of the sector (see more below) and we assume that part of subject’s clients are among these industries – therefore negatively affecting subject.

Subject is a subcontractor for dyeing works for TEFRON, a leading local textile manufacturer who went into financial difficulties in 2009. TEFRON has been going recovery process since 2010, including cost-saving plan -which we assume has negative effects on subject, though TEFRON's situation has been improving thanks to the measures taken.

DELTA GALIL INDUSTRIES, another client of subject, has been doing well, although it is known that they have been shifting almost all their production to foreign plants and subcontractors (due to lower costs).

 

Sales by local Textile, Clothing and Fashion Industries experienced decrease in sales over the last couple of years. The output by the local Textile and Clothing industries in 2009 fell down by 13% from 2008. Some 60% of the textile industry production is sold in the local market and the rest for export. Most exports were the North American markets (some 50%), and the industries suffered from the global economic crisis, mainly in the USA, as well as the slow-down in local market. In 2010 sales for export of the Textile, Clothing & Leather industries improved just slightly, with 3.5% increase from 2009, however in 2011 fell again by 6.6% (mainly due to global markets weakness) reaching US$ 858.7 million.

 

The local industry has been in state of crisis during last decade in face of amounting import from foreign competitors with cheaper production costs, forcing streamlining process, plants closure, and mostly resulting in the shift of textile manufacturing to low labor cost countries. There are around 14,000 employed in the textile sector in some 130 plants. In order to deal with the situation, the local textile industry diverted mainly to advanced technologies production, niches and design aspects.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Notwithstanding the refusal to disclose financial data, considered good for trade engagements.
