Description
of
the
State of Israel is a sovereign issuer, located in the State of Israel.
Issuer, including its The Israeli economy grew based on preliminary estimations, at a pace of 3.2% in
economy.
2018, as compared to growth rates of 3.5% in 2017, 4.0% in 2016, 2.6% in 2015
and 3.9% in 2014. In 2017, gross domestic product ("GDP") increased by 0.8%,
3.8%, 4.7% and 4.4% in the first, second, third and fourth quarters, respectively,
and in 2018, GDP increased by 4.3%, 0.8% and 2.1% in the first, second and
third quarters, respectively, in each case compared to the previous quarter, using
seasonally adjusted data at an annualised rate; the low growth rate in the first
quarter of 2017 was due, among other things, to a drop in vehicle purchases,
following a peak in the fourth quarter of 2016.
In 2014, business sector product (calculated as GDP less certain general
government services, services of private non-profit institutions and housing
services) decreased compared to the 2013 growth rate, as business sector output
grew by 3.5% in 2014. This slowdown was partly due to the negative effects of
Operation Protective Edge, (a defensive military operation in response to Hamas
firing rockets from Gaza into Israel in the summer of 2014), which took place in
July and August of 2014. In 2015, the business sector output grew by 2.7%, lower
than the 2014 figure. In the fourth quarter of 2015, the growth rate accelerated,
and the relatively high growth rates continued in 2016, as the business sector
GDP grew by 4.3%. In 2017, the business sector GDP grew at 3.4%, a similar
pace to the total economy.
Growth of private consumption increased in 2017 as compared to 2016, with total
private consumption reaching 697 in 2017, 675 in 2016, 636 in 2015 and 612 in
2014 (in billions of NIS at constant 2015 prices). Annual growth in private
consumption, which was 4.6% during 2013-2016, was 3.4% in 2017, similar to
the annual GDP growth rate which stood at 3.5%. During 2013 to 2016, growth in
fixed capital formation was volatile and, after stagnation in 2014-2015, it rose to
11.9% in 2016, mainly due to a sharp increase in the number of purchases of
passenger cars. In 2017 gross fixed capital formation increased by 2.8%.
B.48
Public finance and
Balance of Payments and Foreign Trade
trade.
Israel had a current account surplus of 1.2% of GDP in the first 3 quarters of
2018 (on a non-seasonally adjusted basis) following a surplus of 2.9% of GDP
in 2017. This surplus follows fifteen years of a positive surplus in the current
account.
Israel is a party to free trade agreements with its major trading partners and it is
one of the few nations that has signed free trade agreements with both the United
States and the European Union (the "EU").

Israeli net exports decreased from a peak surplus of $9.6 billion in 2015 to a
surplus of $5.9 billion in 2016, which remained stable in 2017. In the first three
quarters of 2018, both imports and exports (seasonally adjusted) grew
significantly. Even with slightly higher growth in total imports as compared to

0032521-0000059 ICM:31475006.11
7

SECTION B THE ISSUER
exports, the total value of exports remained slightly higher than imports (by
$262.3 million, seasonally adjusted).
Focusing on trade in goods, in 2018 (January to November), 32.5% of Israel's
goods exports (excluding aircraft, ships and diamonds, and using seasonally
adjusted data) were to the EU (slightly down from 34.2% in 2017 and higher than
29.1% in 2016), 23.2% were to the United States (down from 24.3% in 2017 and
26.1% in 2016), 22.0% were to Asia (up from 18.4% in 2017 and similar to
2016), and 22.3% were to other markets (down from 23.1% in 2017 and 22.8% in
2016). Of Israel's goods imports (excluding aircraft, ships and diamonds) in 2018
(January to November), 43.2% came from the EU (up from 42.8% in 2017 and
down from 43.6% in 2016), 24.1% came from Asia (down from 25.7% in 2017
and 2016), 11.8% came from the United States (up from 11.1% in 2017 and
down from 12.1% in 2016), and 20.8% came from other countries (up from
20.3% in 2017 and 18.6% in 2016).
Fiscal Policy
The budget and economic plan proposal for the fiscal years 2017 and 2018 was
approved by the Knesset on 22 December 2016 and for the fiscal year 2019 was
approved by the Knesset on 15 March 2018. In the approved budget for fiscal
years 2017 and 2018 and in the approved budget for the fiscal year 2019 the
deficit target was set to 2.9% of GDP.
The deficit for 2017 stood at 1.9% and the deficit for 2018 is expected to be at or
slightly above the deficit target. Since 1995, the deficit has exceeded 4% only in
2003 and 2009, and in the four years (2014-2017) the deficit has been below 3%.
In 2017, the Government continued its debt-reduction policy, reducing
government debt as a percent of GDP by 1.6% compared to 2016, to a level of
58.8% for 2017. Public debt (including local authorities' debt) as a percent of
GDP also continued its declining path, falling to a level of 60.5% at the end of
2017, a decline of 1.6% relative to 2016. For 2018, the debt as a percentage of
GDP is expected to have slightly risen as compared to 2017, but to have declined
as compared to 2016.
As a result of the Government's fiscal discipline, Israel's total gross public debt as
a percentage of GDP has been on a declining path in the last decade. Israel's gross
public debt as a percentage of GDP stood at 60.5% in 2017, 62.1% in 2016,
63.7% in 2015, 65.8% in 2014 and 67.1% in 2013.
Inflation and Monetary Policy
Measured at year end, the consumer price index ("CPI") increased by 0.4% in
2017 and by 1.2% between November 2017 and November 2018, as compared to
a decrease by 0.2% in 2016, 1.0% in 2015 and by 0.2% in 2014. The changes in
the CPI reflect a rise in the prices of commodities, housing and agricultural
products. In order to support further growth, the Bank of Israel has lowered its
interest rate, most recently to 0.10% in March 2015; the key interest rate
remained at that level until December 2018 when it was increased to 0.25%.
Over the past five years (measured from 31 December 2013 to 31 December
2018), the NIS/USD exchange rate has averaged 3.700, fluctuating between a
high of 4.053 (recorded on 20 March 2015) and a low of 3.388 (recorded on 26
January 2018). The current exchange rate (3.748 as of 31 December 2018) is thus
slightly above the five-year average but reflects a depreciation of the NIS since

commencement dates and/or issue prices of the respective Tranches.
Forms of Notes: Notes may be issued in either bearer or registered form.
Registered Notes will not be exchangeable for Bearer Notes and vice versa. Each
