The Israeli Economy at a Glance 2009 Ministry of Industry Trade and Labor THE ISRAELI ECONOMY AT A GLANCE 2009 July 2009 DATA REFERS TO 2008 Minister of Industry, Trade and Labor. Dear Friends, The Israeli economy continued to grow at a relatively fast pace during the year 2008. In comparison with all developed economies Israel's growth was clearly among the fastest. Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, much of the year witnessed further rises in industrial production as well as in foreign trade. The very nature of Israel's open economy and international trading activities in diversified fields, at once exposed Israel to the global crisis whilst allowing for adjustments and restructuring of the domestic economy. On the one hand the Israeli economy has been shifting from agricultural and traditional industrial manufacturing to more knowledge intensive industries and ICT trading and service provision. On the other hand, much of the traditional industries have been undergoing technological upgrading in a constant bid to remain competitive and innovative in the global market place. Success has largely been based on the one major comparative advantage of the Israeli economy – the availability of a large pool of highly skilled engineers and technicians. The continued policies of nurturing and encouraging young students to enter the science-based fields of engineering and software, coupled with the support granted to companies engaged in research and development have further enriched the stock of human capital. The Ministry of Industry Trade and Labor continues under the Netanyahu government, to encourage investment in the periphery as well as supporting widespread investment in research and development. Despite the current downturn in the global markets which adversely affected our economy in the first quarter of 2009, the outlook for the medium to long term is for strong economic recovery and growth. Regional trading with our immediate neighbors has increased and around the globe Free Trade Agreements with major trading blocs, as well as other international agreements, further enhanced Israel’s position to trading with a widening range of countries. With Israel working steadily towards full accession to the OECD we are confident that our economy will continue to provide unique investment opportunities to an increasing number of global partners. Sincerely, Binyamin Ben-Eliezer THE ISRAELI ECONOMY AT A GLANCE 2009 INTRODUCTION THE ISRAELI ECONOMY AT A GLANCE The Israeli Economy at a Glance, as the title suggests, provides the reader with an overall picture of the Israeli economy in graphic, tabular and textual form. The continued widespread demand for this publication has encouraged us to keep amendments to a minimum, aside from the annual statistical updates. Essentially the publication is divided into three main sections: The first section contains basic macro-economic data, foreign trade statistics and international comparisons portrayed in graphical form. The second section contains tables of data, particularly major economic and industrial indicators, enabling a quick look at recent trends and developments in the growth of the local Israeli economy. The third section of the publication reviews selected economic policy and industrial policy, enabling a brief understanding of macro-economic policy in general and the Ministry’s contribution in particular. Furthermore, the reader will find a comprehensive list of world-wide contacts appended to the main publication. Our internet website also provides a wide range of information including this publication and many others.

  • A NEW SURGE in ALIYAH from the PRESIDENT's DESK Dear Friends
    INTERNATIONAL CHRISTIAN EMBASSY JERUSALEM // MARCH/APRIL 2021 // GLOBAL EDITION WORDFROM JERUSALEM A NEW SURGE IN ALIYAH FROM THE PRESIDENT'S DESK Dear friends, In Revelation 21:5, God Himself speaks to John the seer. “Behold, I am making all things new!” It is a declaration of newness, change and transformation which will characterise the ‘end of history’ and the arrival of the New Jerusalem. But it also characterises what He is doing in His kingdom today. God appears in many places in His Word as a God who is doing a new thing (Isaiah 42:9; 43:19). God is encouraging us to embrace the new thing He is doing, even while holding fast to the ancient and saving faith of our fathers. It is in this paradox that we are living even today. Coronavirus is forcing us all to think outside of the box and to embrace the many new ways God is leading us into. And as we do this, we will experience His never-changing goodness and holiness – even here in Jerusalem. We saw this take place at this year’s Envision conference. Threatened by cancellation The International Christian Embassy Jerusalem was established due to COVID-19, it became our biggest pastors and leaders conference ever. Close to in 1980 in recognition of the biblical significance of Jerusalem 700 participants from 55 nations joined us as we came live from Jerusalem and other and its unique connection to the Jewish people. Today the ICEJ locations across Israel, with more seminars and other content than ever before. The represents millions of Christians, churches and denominations to messages from Envision were powerful and all had the same common denominator: the nation and people of Israel.
