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.

decreased from 2011. This would suggest the company had deteriorated in the
management of its debt collections.

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.
