Israel Tax and Economic Perspectives Israel’s new government is responding to the recession with a series of tax and funding measures to stimulate foreign investments and exports and encourage former residents to return from abroad. The managing partner of BDO Israel will share insights into these strategies that are designed to strengthen the Israeli economy and build closer ties with major trading partners such as the United States.	Investing in Israeli Companies Now If Israel were a state of the US, it would be behind only California and Massachusetts in terms of private investment in high tech and life science companies.
