Hong Kong ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Hong Kong has a
free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the
value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports,
is about four times GDP. Hong Kong levies excise duties on only four
commodities, namely: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl
alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. Hong Kong''s open economy left it
exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing
integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it
to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, it
again faces a possible slowdown as exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The
Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as
the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents
are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated
corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB
trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion
quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of
earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 9.1% of
total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2012, an increase of 59% from
the previous year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional
use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB
quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong''s largest trading partner,
accounting for about half of Hong Kong''s exports by value. Hong Kong''s
natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As
a result of China''s easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland
tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9 million
in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has
also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking
to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 46.6% of
the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 57.4%
of the Exchange''s market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong
Kong''s manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has
grown rapidly. Growth slowed to 5% in 2011, and less than 2% in 2012. Credit
expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices
to rise rapidly and inflation to rise 4.1% in 2012. Lower and middle income
segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing.
Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining
an arrangement established in 1983.

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.
