Israel Handelsbilanzsaldo

Israel’s trade deficit widened to USD 2.87 billion in March 2025 from USD 2.48 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year, as the economy took in a relatively larger share of foreign goods. Imports rose by 6.5% from a year earlier to USD 8.32 billion, mainly due to increased purchases of investment goods (14.8%), consumer goods (8.6%) and raw materials (10.1%), while purchases decreased for fuels (-6.5%). In turn, exports grew by a softer 2.2% year-on-year to USD 5.45 billion, mainly attributed to higher sales of working of diamonds (5.3%) and manufacturing, mining and quarrying excluding working diamonds (3.3%).
