From the OECD benchmark, Israel has done excellent, as the charts indicate.

The 2008 global economic crisis has seen the OECD manage through free-money policy (and related debt increases). Israel, on the other hand, has been among the few countries which had austerity and self-dependence. The results are evident— the debt to GDP ratio for Israel has consistently gone lower, which is a healthy sign, whereas for overall OECD nations it has kept climbing.

Likewise, the inherent technological base which Israel has developed has helped it in two areas— curbing of unemployment and getting foreign capital investment interest. Today, Israel is in a decent position wherein it does not need to invest just for collaborative arrangements at the national level.

Indeed, the chart on the economy shows increasing foreign asset acquisition by the Israeli economy. Combined with rising per capita incomes and falling debt percentages, it indicates that whatever economic activity Israel is following, it is able to generate economic returns, recognition and long-term benefits.

In other areas, the OECD has also acknowledged that Israel has built a robust healthcare system with the three key elements – widespread coverage, competitive pricing and good level of choice for the consumer fraternity. In forward-looking areas of technology innovation, Israel is acknowledged as a front-runner, with the resolution mentality needed.
