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.


 

Despite our efforts, we were unable to speak with subject's General Manager, being told he is very busy, upon speaking to him, we shall update you accordingly.

 

In 2006 we received a positive opinion from subject's bankers, Bank Leumi Le’Israel Ltd. The bank's official said that he had been dealing with subject since 1997. Subject was described as an excellent client; its checks never bounced and is good for open credit amounts of several hundred thousands US$.

 

According to the Industrialists' Association, 2008 sales by the local food industries reached NIS 56 billion, of which NIS 53 billion were to the local market, the rest for export. In real terms, sales fell by 1.5% from 2007. Some NIS 43 billion of sales came from sales of food products. Local food industries marked a decrease in 2009 due to the slow-down in local economy and global economic crisis, although decrease was relatively mild, mainly as the economic climate ameliorated in the 2nd half of 2009.

In 2011 sales for exports by the food & beverages industries rose by 16.6%, reaching US$ 929.8 million (rose by 9.8% in 2010 after export rate fell in 2009 by 11% from 2008).

Local food industry employs over 61,000 workers.

 

According to Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) data, investments in machinery & equipment from import for the food industry in 2011 summed up to NIS 929.5 million, 47.7% rise from 2010 (after 15.4% increase in 2010), while investments in machinery & equipment from import for the beverage & tobacco industries rose by 2% to NIS 379.7 million (rose 9.7% in 2010).

 

The Central Bureau of Statistics data shows that import of raw food products to Israel in 2011 summed up to US$ 2,062.6 million, 23% increase from 2010 (a similar growth trend to 2010 from 2009, a year which witnessed a 20% decrease from 2008). Over 50% of import is from the EU.

 

 

SUMMARY

 

Notwithstanding the lack of updated data from subject's officials, considered good for trade engagements.
