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.
