A marked improvement in Israel’s foreign trade balance was noted here today for the first six months of 1962, as compared with the corresponding period of 1961.
Israel’s exports rose by $15,400,000 to $150,600,000, while imports rose by only $6,600,000 to $298,500,000. The rise in total imports was occasioned entirely by increased imports of producer goods–plant and raw materials–while the value of consumer goods imported during the period under review continued to decline.
