Israël Balance Commerciale

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%).
