New: The Palestinian Business Guide Project |
|
Trade between Israel and the Palestinian Authority is vast and in 2008 reached 15 billion NIS. In 2009 it continued to flourish as a result of the improvement in the security situation, measures taken by the Israeli government and increased trust between the two business communities. In spite of all this, there is no full and up to date information about the Palestinian market available for Israeli and foreign companies who wish to find business partners in the West Bank. Therefore, the IPCC has decided to compile a comprehensive study of the Palestinian economy, which will offer up-to-date information about businesses, their background and products, thus enabling Israeli and foreign companies find partners in a quicker and easier manner. The Guide will be ready by July 2010. |
