RECENT FACTS ON ISRAEL

The Human Development Report published by the United Nations Developement Programme ranks Israel 23rd out of 177 countries.

The human development index (HDI) looks beyond GDP to a broader definition of well-being. The HDI provides a composite measure of three dimensions of human development: living a long and healthy life, being educated and having a decent standard of living.

A World Bank study has found that Israeli port facilities lack efficiency compared with those in other countries, ranking them 33 out of 150.

It takes 5.3 days to transfer goods from a customer to the exit gate at the port; this compares with just 1.4 days in the Netherlands.
