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
levies excise duties on only four commodities, namely: hard alcohol, tobacco,
hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. 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 9.1% of total system deposits in Hong
Kong by the end of 2012, an increase of 59% from the previous 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 34.9 million in 2012, 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 2012 mainland Chinese
companies constituted about 46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock
Exchange and accounted for about 57.4% 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,
and less than 2% in 2012. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions
caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly and inflation to rise 4.1% in
2012. 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.
-
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.
