UNITED ARAB
EMIRATES - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The UAE has an open economy
with a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Successful
efforts at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil
and gas output to 25%. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE more than 30 years
ago, the country has undergone a profound transformation from an impoverished
region of small desert principalities to a modern state with a high standard of
living. The government has increased spending on job creation and
infrastructure expansion and is opening up utilities to greater private sector
involvement. In April 2004, the UAE signed a Trade and Investment Framework
Agreement with Washington and in November 2004 agreed to undertake negotiations
toward a Free Trade Agreement with the US; however, those talks have not moved
forward. The country's Free Trade Zones - offering 100% foreign ownership and
zero taxes - are helping to attract foreign investors. The global financial
crisis, tight international credit, and deflated asset prices constricted the
economy in 2009. UAE authorities tried to blunt the crisis by increasing
spending and boosting liquidity in the banking sector. The crisis hit Dubai
hardest, as it was heavily exposed to depressed real estate prices. Dubai
lacked sufficient cash to meet its debt obligations, prompting global concern
about its solvency. The UAE Central Bank and Abu Dhabi-based banks bought the
largest shares. In December 2009 Dubai received an additional $10 billion loan
from the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Dependence on oil, a large expatriate workforce,
and growing inflation pressures are significant long-term challenges. The UAE's
strategic plan for the next few years focuses on diversification and creating
more opportunities for nationals through improved education and increased
private sector employment

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.
