Policies on Foreign Direct Investment
Israel is open to foreign investment, with the government actively encouraging capital inflows. The “Invest in Israel” office under the Ministry of Economy serves as the national investment promotion agency, providing guidance on laws, taxation, incentives, and facilitating business contacts. It also organizes familiarization trips for potential investors and maintains advisory teams worldwide.

Free Trade Zones/Free Ports/Trade Facilitation
Israel has signed bilateral Qualified Industrial Zone (QIZ) agreements with Egypt and Jordan. The QIZ initiative allows Egypt and Jordan to export products to the United States duty-free, as long as these products contain inputs from Israel (8% in the Israel-Jordan QIZ agreement and 10.5% in the Israel-Egypt QIZ agreement). Products manufactured in QIZs must comply with strict rules of origin.
-
Capital Markets and Securities Investment
The Israeli government supports foreign securities investment. The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) is Israel’s sole public securities exchange. Financial institutions extend credit under market conditions, and recent regulatory reforms have strengthened lending practices, reduced concentration risk, and improved market transparency.
-
Investment Incentives
Israel offers a wide range of incentives for investors in industry, tourism, and real estate. The Ministry of Economy prioritizes investments in high-tech companies and R&D activities. Most investment incentives available to Israeli citizens also apply to foreign investors. The Investment Encouragement Law outlines comprehensive incentive programs coordinated by the Investment Promotion Center.
