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.

 

Among subject's clientele are the leading local construction companies.

 

From the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) preliminary data for 2014, investments in construction for dwelling in 2014 fell by 1.2%, after an increase of 1.2% in 2013 and 8.6% in 2012. Investments in construction not for dwelling (public institutions, commerce, industry, etc.) and other construction works (e.g. roads, offices, industrial, institutional), dropped 8.4% in 2014, after climbing 8.6% in the previous year.

 

Total investment in buildings and other construction works in 2014 reached NIS 106.23 billion, 4% decrease from 2013 (when it rose 3.& from 2102). The investment included NIS 66 billion in residential building (-1.2% from 2013), of which 91.5% was for private building, the rest for public building. Construction fell despite the Government's efforts to increase investments. The fall in investment also lead to a rise in houses prices.

Investment in construction for non-residential building (public institutions, commerce, industry, etc.) summed up to NIS 20.28 billion in 2014 (-8.1% from 2013), and investment in other construction works (e.g. roads, offices, industrial, institutional) reached NIS 19.93 billion (-8.7%).

 

Investments in infrastructures comprise 18% of total investments in construction.

 

The annual volume of houses renovations according to the Renovations Contractors Association is estimated at NIS 15 billion, and the turnover of the ceramics branch is estimated to capture NIS 2.3 billion (which comprises some 80% of the branch's total volume).

 

According to the CBS, import of Iron and Steel in 2013 fell by 8.5% from 2012 (in local NIS currency, fell by 2.3% in $ terms).

 

The building sector indicators for 2014 show a withdrawal from the previous year, a reverse trend from 2013, a year which showed improvement in activities after ambiguous previous several years. Volume of building starts for dwelling (which is a dominant indicator for the trend in the building sector) in 2014 is expected to fall by 12% from the previous year with some 40,000 building starts, compared to 44,340 in 2013 (3.4% increase comparing to 2012, a year in which a 13% decrease from 2011 was noted). A similar rate of decrease was also noted in the number of apartment whose building has been completed, and in the number of dwellings transactions, where a sharp decrease was seen. In 2013 there was also 11.8% increase in apartments whose construction was finished (41,970 apartments).

Number of dwellings transactions climbed by 9% in 2013 reaching total of 114 thousands transactions (rise in both new and second-hand apartments), but fell in 2014 (in the beginning of 2015 the rising trend in transactions resumed). In new apartments sold, a slight 0.3% rise noted in 2013 from 2012.
