germany ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The German
economy - the fifth largest economy in the world in PPP terms and Europe's largest
- is a leading exporter of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household
equipment and benefits from a highly skilled labor force. Like its Western
European neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to
sustained long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration
are increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate
structural reforms. Reforms launched by the government of Chancellor Gerhard
SCHROEDER (1998-2005), deemed necessary to address chronically high
unemployment and low average growth, contributed to strong growth in 2006 and
2007 and falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government
subsidized, reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest
increase in unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World
War II - and its decrease to 6.5% in 2012. GDP contracted 5.1% in 2009 but grew
by 4.2% in 2010, and 3.0% in 2011, before dipping to 0.7% in 2012 - a
reflection of low investment spending due to crisis-induced uncertainty and the
decreased demand for German exports from recession-stricken periphery
countries. Stimulus and stabilization efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and
tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela MERKEL's second term increased
Germany's total budget deficit - including federal, state, and municipal - to
4.1% in 2010, but slower spending and higher tax revenues reduced the deficit
to 0.8% in 2011. In 2012 Germany reached a budget surplus of 0.1%. A
constitutional amendment approved in 2009 limits the federal government to
structural deficits of no more than 0.35% of GDP per annum as of 2016 though
the target was already reached in 2012. By 2014, the federal government wants
to balance its budget. Following the March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster,
Chancellor Angela Merkel announced in May 2011 that eight of the country's 17
nuclear reactors would be shut down immediately and the remaining plants would
close by 2022. Germany hopes to replace nuclear power with renewable energy.
Before the shutdown of the eight reactors, Germany relied on nuclear power for
23% of its electricity generating capacity and 46% of its base-load electricity
production.

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.
