japan ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
In the years following World War II, government-industry cooperation, a
strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a comparatively small
defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a technologically advanced
economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war economy were the close
interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors, known as
keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a substantial portion of
the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding under the dual pressures
of global competition and domestic demographic change. Japan's industrial
sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and fuels. A small
agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with crop yields among
the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice production, Japan
imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. For three decades, overall
real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in the 1960s, a 5%
average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth slowed markedly in
the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after effects of
inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s that
required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt, capital,
and labor. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the economy has fallen
into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in business investment
and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed Japan into recession.
Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover in late 2009 and 2010,
but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive 9.0 magnitude
earthquake and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted manufacturing. The
economy has largely recovered in the two years since the disaster, but
reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Newly-elected Prime
Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he
has pledged to reconsider his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear
power plants and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus
and regulatory reform and has said he will press the Bank of Japan to loosen
monetary policy. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts
for price differences, Japan in 2012 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the
world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place
India, which edged out Japan in 2012. The new government will continue a
longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge
government debt, which exceeds 200% of GDP. Persistent deflation, reliance on
exports to drive growth, and an aging and shrinking population are other major
long-term challenges for the economy.

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.
