This article focuses on the sources of Israeli economic success. There were two main sources of Israeli success. Firstly, a large inflow of funds from abroad, mainly from the Jewish diaspora, enabled consecutive governments to make huge investment outlays. Secondly, effective integration of immigrants into social life provided the economy with highly qualified specialists. Traditionally, an important role in the economy of Israel is played by the financial sector and tourism. The defense industry, electronics industry and gem-cutting (in which Israel is the world undisputed leader) occupy a prominent position in the Israeli economy. An important factor that propels the Israeli economy is innovation.
