CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

We spoke with subject’s General Manager, Mr. Tahsin Omaria. He confirmed to us general details, but refused to add further business data, saying they do not have imports, therefore he sees no reason for sharing information.

 

During 2012, into 2013, the Palestinian Authority entered a serious credit crisis, with a dire shortage in cash, suffering a chronic deficit, and was on the verge of bankruptcy (delay in payment of US$ 500,000 to the private and public sectors, fear it will be unable to redeem loans to local banks in volume of US$ 1.2 billion, trade deficit of US$ 4 billion - 50% of GDP). However, there has been a clear division between the West Bank and the Gaza Strip economies.

 

After the Palestinian economy in the West Bank grew in average of 7.5% in the years 2004-2013, the World Bank reports on a decrease trend in per-capita GDP in the West Bank and Gaza witnessed since 2013. Economic growth in the West Bank expects to grow 1.8% in 2015, but population grow 3%. In Gaza, growth was forecasted at 6.5%, but it is calculated based on the depression point of the fight with Israel in summer 2014.

Much of the growth was attributed to the foreign aid received, which due to several reasons (including geo-political changes in the Arab world) there has been delays in the transfer of the promised donations and keeps contracting.

 

Other current indicators are still alarming, mainly in the Gaza Strip, such as high unemployment rates (18% in the West Bank, close to 50% in Gaza) and poverty (25% of population live in poverty, 14% in the West Bank, 39% in Gaza). Gaza Strip population account for 40% of the Palestinian population but their part of the Palestinian GDP is far below.

 

According to the Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) data, GDP of the Palestinian Economy in 2016 was circa US$ 13,400 million in current prices, up from US$ 12,670 million in 2015 (was US$ 7.700 million in 2015 and US$ 7,460 million in 2014 at constant prices, where 2004 is the base year).

GDP per capita in the West Bank stands on US$ 4,000, however well lower in Gaza Strip, whose economy has been in different condition Jointly, GDP per capita stood on close to US$ 2,960 in 2016, US$ 2,860 in 2015 in current prices, based on CBS data, or circa US$ 1,740 in 2015 & 2014 at constant prices).

In terms of foreign trade, Total Import in 2013 summed up to US$ 4,800 million. Over 80% of imported goods to the Palestinian Territories are carried out via Israel.
