SINGAPORE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Singapore has a highly developed and successful free-market
economy. It enjoys a remarkably open and corruption-free environment, stable
prices, and a per capita GDP higher than that of most developed countries. The
economy depends heavily on exports, particularly in consumer electronics,
information technology products, pharmaceuticals, and on a growing financial
services sector. Real GDP growth averaged 8.6% between 2004 and 2007. The
economy contracted 0.8% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis, but
rebounded 14.8% in 2010, on the strength of renewed exports, before slowing to
5.2% in 2011 and 1.3% in 2012, largely a result of soft demand for exports
during the second European recession. Over the longer term, the government
hopes to establish a new growth path that focuses on raising productivity,
which has sunk to an average of about 1.0% in the last decade. Singapore has
attracted major investments in pharmaceuticals and medical technology
production and will continue efforts to establish Singapore as Southeast Asia's
financial and high-tech hub

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.
-
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 –
-
Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council in its statistical data has
shown the export of polished diamonds to have increase by 28 % in February
2013. Compared to $ 1.4 bn worth of polished diamond export in February, 2012,
India exported $ 1.84 billion worth of polished diamonds in February 2013. A
senior executive of GJEPC said, “Export of cut and polished diamonds started
falling month-wise after the imposition of 2 % of import duty on the polished
diamonds. But February, 2013 has given a new ray of hope to the industry as the
export of polished diamonds has actually increased by 28 %. It means the
industry is on the track of recovery and round tripping of diamonds has
stopped completely.” Demand has started coming from the US, the UK, Japan and
China. India’s polished diamond export is expected to cross $ 21 bn in 2013-14.
-
The banking sector has started exercising restraint while following
prudent risk management norms when lending money to gems and jewellery sector.
This follows the implementation of Basel III accord – a global voluntary
regulatory standard on bank capital adequacy, stress testing and market
liquidity.
