Israel's Economy and Industry Minister Nir Barkat has pointed to his country's focus on increasing trade ties with India, the world's 5th largest economy. From a modest beginning of around USD 200 million in 1992, primarily focused on diamonds, the bilateral trade has expanded dramatically. By the financial year 2022-23, the trade reached approximately USD 10.77 billion (excluding defence), with India enjoying a trade surplus.
