Israel
Country Overview
In those 20.000 square km along the south east Mediterranean cost, where the independent state of Israel was created after the II World War, the stones are full of history, religion, deaths and hopes. The 7.5 million people, of which 75% are Jewish, live concentrated in their towns (urbanization index at 92%), living between peace and war.
The Israel economy is based on high technology activities, service, tourism and agriculture. The global financial crisis of 2008-09 marginally hit this country, thanks to the government's conservative economic policy based on strong control of cost and a resilient banking sector. The economy has recovered better than most advanced, comparably sized economies, with GDP increased 4.8% in 2010 and 2011. The pro capita income at US $ 31.000 is increasing year after year and the unemployment rate is declining (5.6% in the 2011). The infrastructure network is well developed with 49 airports, 1.000kms of railways and over 18.000 paved roadways.
