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 2013, 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. Israel's economy also has weathered the Arab Spring because strong
trade ties outside the Middle East have insulated the economy from spillover
effects. Slowing demand domestically and internationally and reduced investment
due to uncertainties caused by the Gaza conflict in summer 2014 have reduced
GDP growth to about 2% during 2014. 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 expected to come online
no sooner than 2017, but production from Tamar provided a one percentage point
boost to Israel's GDP in 2013 and a 0.5% boost 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 and has started splitting up the
oligopolies to address some of the grievances but has maintained that it will
not engage in deficit spending to satisfy populist demands. 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.
