Polished diamond imports rose 7.62 percent in volume and 10.38 percent in value, mostly originating from Hong Kong, India and the UAE. Exports of polished diamonds rose by 8.83 percent in volume and 15.03 percent in value. Exports mainly concentrated at Hong Kong, the U.S. and UAE.
The fact that the trade figures for September of this year were generally more positive than in September of last year can also be explained by the Jewish holidays taking place in October this year, as opposed to them taking place in September of last year, thereby decreasing trade activity.
