ISRAEL - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Israel has a technologically advanced market economy. Its major imports include crude oil, grains, raw materials, and military equipment. Cut diamonds, high-technology equipment, and pharmaceuticals are among 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. Israel's economy also has weathered the Arab Spring because strong trade ties outside the Middle East have insulated the economy from spillover effects. 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, and production from the Tama field is expected to meet all of Israel's natural gas demand beginning mid-2013. 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.

After several years of constant growth, the consumer products market, which includes food, beverages and household and personal care goods, ended 2012 with fixation and even decrease in sales, according to Nilsen Market Research. The decrease intensified over the last quarter of 2012, but was compensated by prices rise. In money terms, the market grew by mere 0.7%, lest than the population growth rate (2% per annum), reflecting the slow-down trend in the local economy which started in 2011 2nd half. Sales in the bar-coded consumer market reached NIS 40.4 billion. Sales of food in 2012 grew by 1.1%, reaching NIS 29.8 billion, while in the beverage market sales fell by 2% to NIS 5.1 billion. Volume of personal care goods rose by 3% to NIS 3 billion, while sale of household increased by 1.5% to NIS 2.7 billion.

 

Sales for exports by the food & beverages industries remained stagnant in 2012, with sales reaching US$ 952.3 million (after in 2011 export rose by 16.6%).

 

According to Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of food and beverages to Israel in 2012 summed up to NIS 6,898 million, rising by 13.8% from 2011 (a 5.5% rise in $ terms), continuing the upward growth trend from 2011 and 2010.

 

The Central Bureau of Statistics data shows that import of raw food products to Israel in 2012 summed up to NIS 9,135.6 million, 2.7% decrease from 2011 (marked a 9.8% decrease in $ terms). This represents a reverse trend from the previous couple of years, when it rose in both years in around 20%.

Over 50% of import is from the EU.

 

From the CBS National Accounts for 2012, it turns that expenditure by local households on private consumption grew by 2.7% from 2011, after rising by 3.8% in 2011. Expenditure on food, beverage & tobacco increased by 3.4% (after 4% rise in 2011).

Per capita expenditure for private consumption on non-durable goods rose in 2012 by 1.4% per-capita (1.3% rise in 2011).
