Belgium - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
This modern, open, and private-enterprise-based economy has capitalized
on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified
industrial and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the more
heavily-populated region of Flanders in the north. With few natural resources,
Belgium imports substantial quantities of raw materials and exports a large
volume of manufactures, making its economy vulnerable to volatility in world
markets. Roughly three-quarters of Belgium's trade is with other EU countries,
and Belgium has benefited most from its proximity to Germany. In 2011 Belgian
GDP grew by 2.0%, the unemployment rate decreased slightly to 7.7% from 8.3%
the previous year, and the government reduced the budget deficit from a peak of
6% of GDP in 2009 to 4.2% in 2011. Despite the relative improvement in
Belgium's budget deficit, public debt hovers near 100% of GDP, a factor that
has contributed to investor perceptions that the country is increasingly
vulnerable to spillover from the euro-zone crisis. Belgian banks were severely
affected by the international financial crisis in 2008 with three major banks
receiving capital injections from the government, and the nationalization of
the Belgian arm of a Franco-Belgian bank. An ageing population and rising
social expenditures are mid- to long-term challenges to public finances.

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.
-
The diamond jewellery industry in India today may be
more than Rs 60000 mil and is rated amongst the fastest growing in the
world. Indi ranks third in the world in domestic diamond consumption.
-
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 –
DIAMOND
SAGA – DIRTY DOZEN STUCK WITH 2K CR DEBT
This could be the biggest credibility crisis
the Indian diamond industry has ever faced. Fifteen banks run the risk of
losing Rs 2000 crore lent to a dozen diamond firms in Surat. Until about two
months ago, they had not repaid these dues. Bankers believe many
diamantaires borrowed money during the economic downturn two years ago and
diverted funds to businesses like real estate and capital markets. Many of
themselves made money from these businesses but their diamond companies have
gone sick and declared insolvency.
-
Most of the money borrowed from the banks in the name
of their diamond business has been diverted in real estate and the share
market. The banks are not in a position to seize their properties because in
many cases, these were purchased in the name of their relatives and friends.
