Israel Handelsbilanzsaldo

Israel’s trade deficit narrowed to USD 2.52 billion in February 2025 from USD 3.4 billion in the corresponding month of the previous year. This marked the smallest trade deficit since August 2024, as exports grew by 3.7% year-on-year to USD 4.63 billion, mainly attributed to higher sales of agriculture, forestry and fishing (37.8%) and manufacturing, mining and quarrying excluding working diamonds (1.7%). Meanwhile, imports fell by 8.6% from a year earlier to USD 7.15 billion, mainly due to lower purchases of raw materials (-15.9%) and investment goods (-10.9%). However, purchases increased for consumer goods (11.3%).
