belgium ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
This modern,
open, and private-enterprise-based economy has capitalized on its central
geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial
and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the more
heavily-populated region of Flanders in the north. With few natural resources,
Belgium imports substantial quantities of raw materials and exports a large
volume of manufactures, making its economy vulnerable to volatility in world
markets. Roughly three-quarters of Belgium's trade is with other EU countries,
and Belgium has benefited most from its proximity to Germany. In 2011 Belgian
GDP grew by 1.8%, the unemployment rate decreased slightly to 7.2% from 8.3%
the previous year, and the government reduced the budget deficit from a peak of
6% of GDP in 2009 to 4.2% in 2011 and 3.3% in 2012. Fourth quarter GDP growth
in 2012 was at -0.1%, the third consecutive quarter of negative growth. This
brought economic growth for the whole of 2012 to negative 0.2%. It also left
Belgium on the brink of a possible recession at the end of 2012. However, at
year's end, the government appeared close to meeting its 2012 budget deficit
goal of 3% of GDP. Despite the relative improvement in Belgium's budget
deficit, public debt hovers around 100% of GDP, a factor that has contributed
to investor perceptions that the country is increasingly vulnerable to
spillover from the euro-zone crisis. Belgian banks were severely affected by
the international financial crisis in 2008 with three major banks receiving
capital injections from the government, and the nationalization of the Belgian
retail arm of a Franco-Belgian bank.

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.
