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.

On the whole, consider the subject good for normal business engagements in small credit amounts.
Important Note
Please be advised
that:
·
Sinowin Pacific Ltd. is chiefly a chemical trader.
·
There is a firm known as Shamas located at the same
address which is also partly owned by Mr. Sadhak Mushtak Ahmed Yaseen who is the managing director of
Sinowin. Business
commenced in July 1975, Shamas is trading in diamonds, ruby, sapphire, precious stones,
semi-precious stones, gold and general merchandises, etc. We have
already mentioned these in our report.
·
In the point of view of Mr. Sadhak Mushtak Ahmed Yaseen, Sinowin
is not only a chemical trader but also a diamond trader. There are no
differences between these two firms.
·
In vice-versa, Shamas is not only a diamond trader,
but also a chemical trader, this is in the point of view of Sadhak Mushtak Ahmed Yaseen.
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.
