Overview:From 2007 to 2011, Israel's exports increased on average by 5.8 percent each year and reached its peak of 67.8 bln US$ in 2011 (see table 1and graph 1). Similarly, imports increased on average by 6.8 percent each year and reached 73.5 bln US$ (see table 2 and graph 1). Thisresulted in a trade deficit of 5.7 bln US$ in 2011, much higher than the 0.8 bln US$ deficit in 2010 (see graph 1). By MDG regions, trade withDeveloped North America recorded a surplus of 11.1 bln US$ (see graph 2). However, trade recorded a deficit amounting to 9.8 bln US$ withDeveloped Europe. Israel's trade was diversified across partners: in 2011, 17 (respectively 14) major partners accounted for 80 percent ofexports (respectively imports) (see graph 3).

Exports Profile:In 2011, exports were composed of 35.9 percent of manufactured goods classifiedchiefly by material (SITC section 6), 27.6 percent of chemicals and related products,n.e.s. (SITC section 5) and 22.3 percent of machinery and transport equipment (SITCsection 7) (see table 1). In addition to the USA, other major partners for exports in2011 included China, Hong Kong SAR and Belgium (see table 4). Exports to these

countries were in majority manufactured goods classified chiefly by material (SITCsection 6). From 2009 to 2011, top commodities for exports were diamonds, whetheror not worked, but not mounted or set (HS code 7102), medicaments (excluding goodsof heading 30.02, 30.05 or 30.06) (HS code 3004) and electronic integrated circuits(HS code 8542) (see table 3).
