THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
With a well-developed infrastructure, a free-enterprise
economy, generally pro-investment policies, and strong export industries,
Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to industrial and agriculture
exports - mostly electronics, agricultural commodities, automobiles and parts,
and processed foods. Thailand is trying to maintain growth by encouraging
domestic consumption and public investment to offset weak exports in 2012.
Unemployment, at less than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels
in the world, which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand
also attracts nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries.
The Thai government is implementing a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day
minimum wage policy and deploying new tax reforms designed to lower rates on
middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external
economic shocks in recent years. The global economic severely cut Thailand's
exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In 2009, the
economy contracted 2.3%. However, in 2010, Thailand's economy expanded 7.8%,
its fastest pace since 1995, as exports rebounded. In late 2011 growth was
interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial areas in Bangkok and its five
surrounding provinces, crippling the manufacturing sector. Industry recovered
from the second quarter of 2012 onward with GDP growth at 5.5% in 2012. The
government has approved flood mitigation projects worth $11.7 billion, which
were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage, and an additional $75
billion for infrastructure over the next seven years with a plan to start in
2013.

Gross Profit Margin used to assess a firm's financial health by revealing
the proportion of money left over from revenues after accounting for the cost
of goods sold. Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying additional
expenses and future savings. The
company’s figure is 21.94%. When
compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was higher,
indicated that company was more profitable than the same industry.
Net Profit Margin is the indicator of the company's efficiency in that
net profit takes into consideration all expenses of the company. A low profit

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.
