When viewed from the population, the per capita income of the Israeli people in 2019 was 43,588 US dollars. Meanwhile, in the same year, Indonesia only recorded 4,135 United States dollars.

There are many opinions that state the reason why Israel has a large enough state income to have a developed economy.

In that year, a fairly advanced industry engaged in various fields such as fertilizers, pesticides, chemicals, heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, plastics, and so on.

In various sources, it is said that the advancement of Israeli manufacturing was due to experts who carried out a lot of exodus from European countries during PD II in order to avoid persecution.

The advancement of technology companies in Israel contributed a large income to the country. Israel then exported technology to various countries. Even the number of technology exports continues to increase. In 1991 the amount increased, from USD 3 billion to USD 12.3 billion in 2000. Meanwhile, in 2006 the figure became USD 29 billion,

Israel also received research and technology funding from several countries ranging from the US, France, Canada, Italy, Spain, China, Turkey, India and Germany.
