Why Israel's Boom Is Actually A Bubble Destined To Pop
In the past few years, Israel’s economy has been praised for its stability and strong performance during and after the Global Financial Crisis. Israel’s booming tech industry has earned it the nickname “The Startup Nation” and international tech companies from Google to Facebook are clamoring to acquire the country’s startups. Investors the world over have been vying to add Israeli investments to their portfolios. Rather than experiencing a property slump like the U.S. and many countries did, Israel’s property prices are soaring and making speculators rich. Sadly, Israel’s economic boom is not the miracle that it appears to be, but is actually another bubble that is similar to those that caused the financial crisis.

President Peres’s state visit to China, the first by an Israeli president in over a decade, occurs against the background of the current debate in Israel over Chinese investments in Israeli assets. Reports in recent months of talks between the Israeli food conglomerate Tnuva and China’s Bright Food over the sale of the controlling share in Tnuva, and reports of a possible sale of Clal Insurance to a group of Chinese investors, have touched off a heated public debate about China’s penetration into the Israeli market. One major issue concerns China’s political and strategic positions and objectives in the Middle East, which often do not match Israeli interests. However, given China’s increasing participation in the global economy, Chinese companies and institutions will likely continue to take an interest in the Israeli economy. This is a desirable state of affairs that should be encouraged, and can yield both economic and political benefits. At the same time, Israel cannot afford to open its doors to Chinese companies and institutions without a thorough review process.
