(MENAFNEditorial)
We forecast growth across Israel's freight modes in 2015. This will be especially welcome at the country's ports which have struggled with declining volumes over the past two years. Growth will be supported by a number of factors both internal and external not least of which is the ongoing recovery in major export partner the eurozone. Ongoing investment into freight transport infrastructure will also support growth over the long term although we note that it might continue to disrupt operations in the short term as workers at the major Mediterranean ports protest against the establishment of new privately operated facilities. Further to the risk posed by business developments the volatile situation in Gaza offers serious risk to our macroeconomic forecasts for the country and so also to our freight transport projections.
