Liberalising Trends in Israel's Trade Policy: Trade Policy Review of Israel

Alfred Tovias

The World Economy, 2008, vol. 31, issue 11, 1433-1442

Abstract: Israeli authorities have been generally efficient in implementing gradual, mostly unilateral, liberalisation of their country's trade policy regime, with agriculture and related activities being the only major exceptions to the rule. This trend reflects a broad consensus among major political parties in Israel in pursuing liberal trade policy reforms. An alternative interpretation of the liberalising trend is that protectionist pressures from organised sectoral lobbies were either weak or inefficient.
