HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Hong Kong has a free market economy,
highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and
services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times
GDP. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown
that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade,
tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more
quickly than many observers anticipated, it again faces a possible slowdown as
exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The Hong Kong government is promoting
the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB)
internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish
RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese
government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is
allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for
trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the
mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 7.8% of total system deposits in Hong
Kong by the end of 2011, an increase of over 59% since the beginning of the
year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in
Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The
mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for
about half of Hong Kong's exports by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are
limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing
of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has
surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 28 million in 2011, outnumbering visitors
from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the
premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2011 mainland
Chinese companies constituted about 43% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong
Stock Exchange and accounted for about 56% of the Exchange's market
capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry
moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Growth slowed to
5% in 2011. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong
Kong property prices to rise rapidly in 2010 and inflation to rise 5.3% in
2011. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly
unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency
closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

DIAMOND INDUSTRY
INDIA
-
From time immemorial, India is well known in the world
as the birthplace for diamonds. It is difficult to trace the origin of
diamonds but history says that in the remote past, diamonds were mined only in
India. Diamond production in India can be traced back to almost 8th
Century B.C. India, in fact, remained undisputed leader till 18th
Century when Brazilian fields were discovered in 1725 followed by emergence of
S. Africa, Russia and Australia.
-
The achievement of the Indian diamond industry was
possible only due to combination of the manufacturing skills of the Indian
workforce and the untiring and unflagging efforts of the Indian diamantaires,
supported by progressive Government policies.
-
The area of study of family owned diamond businesses
derives its importance from the huge conglomerate of family run organizations
which operate in the diamond industry since many generations.
-
Some of the basic traits of family run business
enterprises include spirit of entrepreneurship, mutual trust lowers transaction
costs, small, nimble and quick to react, information as a source of advantage
and philanthropy.
-
Family owned diamond businesses need to improve on
many fronts including higher standard of corporate governance, long-term
performance focused strategies, modern management and technology.
-
The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be
more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing in the
world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.
-
Utmost caution is to be exercised while dealing with
some medium and large diamond traders which are usually engaged in fictitious
import export, inter-company transactions, financially assisted by banks. In
the process, several public sector banks lost several hundred million rupees.
They mostly diverted borrowed money for diamond business into real estate and
capital markets.
-
Excerpts from Times of India dated 30th
October 2010 is as under
DIAMOND
SAGA DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT
This could be the biggest credibility crisis
the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of
losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two
months ago, they had not repaid these dues. Bankers believe many
diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and
diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of
themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have
gone sick and declared insolvency.
-
Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name
of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share
market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in
many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
