Put Your Deliveries to Israel on The Right Tracks
The establishment of the separate state of Israel has been the subject of great animosity and conflict for its entire history.
Nevertheless, the country is a large trading power, and boasts a modern and efficient market economy, despite being dependent on imports for its supplies of raw materials, crude oil and grain. These are only partly offset by its main exports, of cut diamonds, high-tech equipment and fruit and vegetables, but tourism is an important source of funds to help close this deficit.
Despite its limited production capacity, the Israeli economy is a modern success story, and regularly posts year-on-year growth rates in the order of five per cent.
This is partly as a result of strong trading relations with some of the world’s richest nations, including the USA, China, Germany and Switzerland.
In recent years, a further boost to the country’s economy has been provided by the discovery of sizeable natural gas resources off its coast. Israel was also relatively unscathed by the worldwide financial crisis of 2009-10, thanks to the prudent operations of its banking sector.
A history of fiscal prudence has also stood the country in good stead, and helped it to gain accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development in 2010. The economy grew at a steady rate of 4.8 per cent in the years 2009 and 2010 – years which, of course, saw other leading world economies shrink.
The wide scope of the Israeli industrial economy is a major reason why the country has been able to grow steadily in recent years. It also means that the country has substantial need for a wide range of imported products and raw materials.
Large quantities of imported goods flow into Israel from European countries, and this is good news for anyone who needs to send parcels and freight to the country from the UK, meaning that there are well-established routes over which any exports can travel.
International shipping specialists are well-versed in the best ways of getting goods to Israel, among many other countries, and can offer the resources of the biggest and best-known worldwide couriers to help ensure that they reach their destination safely and in a timely manner, and comply with all import regulations.
The large communities of Israeli-born people who are scattered around the world also provide plenty of business for international delivery companies, and they are grateful for the fact that they can get goods to their friends and relatives back in their homeland whenever they need to, and for reasonable shipping rates.
