1. Investment decline

Not surprising. Nobody wants to bet money on a horse that will soon be dead.

4. The Reason Is Corruption Here Is Why
Boaz Rabinovich ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.30.10)
Israel is a filthy dirty corrupt country that if given the chance over 80% of its citizens would leave Israel in a heart beat. Canada, Australia, America are the locations where citizens are respected and prosper. Students have a future, police can be counted on to do a great job protecting the public, politicians leave their posts when under suspicion and do not continue to reign as did Ehud Olmert, Moshe Katzav, Haim Ramon and many others. Clean up Israel and we will again invest but as is filthy i will not invest a red cent.

economy. Israel will continue to be the leader in the middle east. to number one why don't you go enjoy the prosperity of gaza? everybody who has bet on the Jews and Israel to be a dead horse no longer exists. some people are slow to learn and you lead the pack!
7. China giving better return now,money follows highest profit
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.30.10)
A lot of money stays out of US and EU to avoid taxes, that has help Israel in the past but now China is showing better profits, so next year likely worse for Israel.

9. Corruption??
Sol ,   Toronto, Canada   (07.31.10)
What are you blabbering about? There has been a severe recession and the traditional source of most of the FDI going into Israel was hard hit. Banking and investment crisis - ring a bell? Boaz keep your $1.50 in your piggy bank, I think Israel will manage just fine without it.
10. Egypt got $8 Billion in Foriegn Direct Investment...
Jon   (07.31.10)
And they consider this year to be a very bad year for them. I think it's time Minister Yuval Steintz got sacked.
11. # 7 - Ouuuch !!! This one hurts , really ,..,
split ,   USA   (07.31.10)
"so next year likely worse for Israel" "China has invested an estimated $40 billion in Iran's oil and gas sector Deputy Oil Minister Hossein Noqrehkar Shirazi said in an AFP report Saturday" http://www.buzzbox.com/top/default/preview/china-invests-40-bln-in-iran-oil-gas-minister/?id=3499767&topic=china%3Agas
12. #7, really?
Danny   (08.01.10)
What sort of returns do you think **foreigners** make in China?
13. #4, interested to know where you get your figures from
Danny   (08.01.10)
Because a significant portion of Israelis DO have a choice and choose to live in Israel. I don't recollect Clinton leaving when he was under suspicion in the Whitewater case. I also recollect that Nixon had to be dragged kicking and screaming from the White House.
14. #11, over what period?
Danny   (08.01.10)
and in cash? Or have they agreed to let Iran off some of the billion they owe China for refining their oil.
15. 14 over what period?
