ISRAEL ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Israel has a technologically advanced market economy. Cut diamonds, high-technology equipment, and pharmaceuticals are among the leading exports. Its major imports include crude oil, grains, raw materials, and military equipment. Israel usually posts sizable trade deficits, which are covered by tourism and other service exports, as well as significant foreign investment inflows. Between 2004 and 2011, growth averaged nearly 5% per year, led by exports. 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. 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. The economy has recovered better than most advanced, comparably sized economies, but slowing demand domestically and internationally, and a strong shekel, have reduced forecasts for the next decade to the 3% level. Natural gas fields discovered off Israel's coast since 2009 have brightened Israel's energy security outlook. The Tamar and Leviathan fields were some of the world's largest offshore natural gas finds this past decade. The massive Leviathan field is not due to come online until 2018, but production from Tamar provided a one percentage point boost to Israel's GDP in 2013 and is expected to contribute 0.5% growth in 2014. In mid-2011, public protests arose around income inequality and rising housing and commodity prices. Israel's income inequality and poverty rates are among the highest of OECD countries and there is a broad perception among the public that a small number of "tycoons" have a cartel-like grip over the major parts of the economy. 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. Over the long term, Israel faces structural issues, including low labor participation rates for its fastest growing social segments - the ultra-orthodox and Arab-Israeli communities. Also, Israel's progressive, globally competitive, knowledge-based technology sector employs only 9% of the workforce, with the rest employed in manufacturing and services - sectors which face downward wage pressures from global competition.

CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Isi Yogev refused to disclose financial data on subject.

Mr. Isi Yogev is veteran in the field of activity. Subject and ISI YOGEV TECHNOLOGIES is well-known and among the leading companies in their fields in the local market.

 

On 11.6.2007 subject signed an agreement with HATEHOF LTD. for a joint venture, according to which the parties will established a new company, ISI YOGEV HATEHOF LTD., equally owned, and transfer all of their companies' activities in the field of crates for vehicles into the new company.

According to data by of the Metal, Electrical and Infrastructure Industries Association, representing the local Metal and Electricity Industries, which includes large scale export-oriented industries on one hand and family-owned plants which sell to the local market: 2010 sales (local and export) by the said industries amounted to NIS 70 billion, comprising 25% of Israel's industrial output. Sales for export reached US$ 10 billion in 2010.

Some 90,000 employees serve the said industries (26% of Israel's industrial workforce).

 

The Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) data on import of metals raw materials to the local industries: Import of Iron and Steel in 2013 kept the negative trend from 2012 after a remarkable recovery in the years 2010 and 2011 from 2009 with decreased by 2.3% reaching US$ 2,127 million (fell 11.5% in 2012, after rising by over 30% per year in 2010 and in 2011); On the other hand, import of Precious Metals rose by 7.3% in 2013 to US$ 157 million (fell 13% in 2012 after rising by 2% in 2011 and 22.5% in 2010), and import of Non-ferrous Metals increased by 6% to US$ 850 million (after a 13% fall in 2012 and rise by 20% in 2011 and by 41% in 2010).

 

5,439 trucks and lorries were sold in Israel in 2009, representing a 17% decrease from 2008 (when it marked 7% rise from 2007), reflecting the slow-down trend in the local market. The value of the imported trucks and lorries was circa US$ 271 million. In addition, 2,056 buses and minibuses were sold in 2009.

Yet, these figures proved to be much better than initially feared of as the market managed to recover since June 2009.
