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 since 2011 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 Tamar field started meeting all of Israel's natural gas demand in 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. In May 2013 the Israeli government, in a politically difficult process, passed an austerity budget to reign in the deficit and restore confidence in the government’s fiscal position.

According to Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of food and beverages to Israel in 2013 reached NIS 6,946 million, rising by mere 0.7% (in NIS terms, 7.4% rise in $ terms), continuing the upward growth trend from 2012 (14% rise), 2011 and 2010.

 

From the CBS National Accounts for 2013, it turns that expenditure by local households on private consumption grew by 3.7% from 2012, after rising by 3.2% in 2012 and by 3.8% in 2011. Expenditure on food, beverage & tobacco increased by 3.8% (after 3.5% rise in 2012).
