芯片开发商Sigma设计公司１．６亿美元收购Coppergate通讯公司
以色列几乎缺少化石燃料矿床，是一个地理政治上的“电力孤岛”，只得靠自己来应对能源高峰需求，而现在以色列已将自身弱势转化成优势。以色列凭借其著名的水和废水处理技术以及先进的航天航空和信息技术领域，依靠具有悠久传统的研发实力来克服自然资源的匮乏。实际上，以色列在全球开发替代能源技术领域居于世界前列。
以色列本土只有少量的化石燃料资源，因此对以色列来说成为开发替代能源领域的先导者是顺理成章的事情。大片拥有充足光照的贫瘠土地使太阳能成为以色列研究人员最早所探求的替代能源之一。现在，以色列的研究人员还正在开发某些重要技术，这些技术虽然在以色列少有应用，但对世界各国来说具有重要意义，例如Omart技术公司引领着全球地热能源的开发。另外以色列在生物燃料和风能方面也进行着相当多的研究。

根据以色列中央银行日前发布的报告，截至今年9月底，以色列外汇储备接近600亿美元，再创历史新高，从去年3月开始，为了抑制以色列货币对美元的过快升值、保持本国出口产品竞争力，以央行实行了大规模的购买美元外汇计划，导致外汇储备不断增加，仅去年7月至今年7月的一年时间内，外汇储备就从320亿美元增长到520亿美元。由于外汇储备增速过快产生其他问题，今年8月以央行决定停止购买外汇计划，但仍将对外汇市场“非正常波动”进行干预。
