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.

 

Subject's General Manager refused to disclose financial data besides sales figures.

 

Subject is a veteran business.

 

According to the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS), import of Clothing and Footwear in 2013 rose by mere 0.9% from 2012 (in NIS terms, rose by 7.9% in $ terms), summing up to NIS 6,854 million. Thai indicates the continuing growing trend over the last years – in 2012 13% rise (5% in $ currency terms), 19% in 2011 and 13.4% in 2010, albeit in much moderate numbers. Import rose by 5.6% (10.7% in $ terms) in the first 8 months of 2014 (comparing to the parallel period in 2013).

 

Most import comes from China. Main other countries of origin for textile goods are France, Italy, Hong Kong and Turkey, Spain and the U.S.A.

 

The local fashion market has been significantly influenced by the entrance of new international fashion players to the already highly competitive local market.

 

To many players in the branch, the fierce competition, coupled with the slow-down in local economy resulted in stagnation in sales and drop in revenues. There have been also few collapses of veteran and big retailers in some niches, including in the ladies fashion and children's apparel.

 

Moreover, in particular for the recent period, local businesses in general, and the fashion market in particular, sufferred a blow from the fighting situation in Israel during July-August in the south of Israel, causing freeze in sales.

 

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. From estimation for the 1st half of 2014, consumption grew by 2.1% in annual calculation (comparing to 4.4% rise in the parallel period in 2013).

 

Per-capita expenditure increased in 2013 by 1.8%, and by 0.2% in 2014 1stH.
