Israeli services exports, boosted by the technology sector, made a significant leap over the past decade to nearly equal the sale of goods abroad, the Economy Ministry said on Monday.
Services exports rose 160% in the past 10 years, bringing them to 49% of the total $114 billion in Israeli exports expected this year, from 32% in 2009. Exports as a whole rose 68% over the past decade, or 5.3% on average on a yearly basis. Services exports rose more than 10% per year on average.
