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.

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

According to survey from 2013, the local food market, manufacturing, import and trade, rolls NIS 80 billion per annum. There are some 1,700 food plants in Israel (some also import) and hundreds of importers in the food, beverage and consumer products, supplying raw materials and finished goods to the food market.

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.

Local food industry employs directly 62,000 workers in some 1,550 plants, 72% of which are considered small plants (with sales of up to NIS 10 million).

 

According to Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) data, investments in machinery & equipment from import for the food industry in 2012 fell 21% from 2011 and summed up to NIS 559 million (after 61% increase in 2011), while investments in machinery & equipment from import for the beverage & tobacco industries rose in 2012 by 12% to NIS 334 million (in 2011 it fell by 4.7%).

 

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). That represented a reverse trend from the previous couple of years, when it rose in both years in around 20%.

The negative trend continued into 2013, with import of raw food products falling by 6.6% in the first 10 months of the year compared to the parallel period in 2012, reaching NIS 7,355.7 million.

Over 50% of import is from the EU.
