canada ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
As an affluent,
high-tech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class, Canada resembles the
US in its market-oriented economic system, pattern of production, and affluent
living standards. Since World War II, the impressive growth of the
manufacturing, mining, and service sectors has transformed the nation from a
largely rural economy into one primarily industrial and urban. The 1989
US-Canada Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and the 1994 North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) (which includes Mexico) touched off a dramatic increase in
trade and economic integration with the US its principal trading partner.
Canada enjoys a substantial trade surplus with the US, which absorbs about
three-fourths of Canadian exports each year. Canada is the US's largest foreign
supplier of energy, including oil, gas, uranium, and electric power. Given its
great natural resources, highly skilled labor force, and modern capital plant,
Canada enjoyed solid economic growth from 1993 through 2007. Buffeted by the
global economic crisis, the economy dropped into a sharp recession in the final
months of 2008, and Ottawa posted its first fiscal deficit in 2009 after 12
years of surplus. Canada's major banks, however, emerged from the financial
crisis of 2008-09 among the strongest in the world, owing to the financial
sector's tradition of conservative lending practices and strong capitalization.
Canada achieved marginal growth in 2010-12 and plans to balance the budget by
2015. In addition, the country's petroleum sector is rapidly becoming an even
larger economic driver with Alberta's oil sands significantly boosting Canada's
proven oil reserves, ranking the country third in the world behind Saudi Arabia
and Venezuela.

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.
