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 1.8%, the unemployment rate decreased slightly to 7.2%
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 and 3.3% in 2012. Fourth quarter
GDP growth in 2012 was at -0.1%, the third consecutive quarter of negative growth.
This brought economic growth for the whole of 2012 to negative 0.2%. It also
left Belgium on the brink of a possible recession at the end of 2012. However,
at year's end, the government appeared close to meeting its 2012 budget deficit
goal of 3% of GDP. Despite the relative improvement in Belgium's budget
deficit, public debt hovers around 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
retail arm of a Franco-Belgian bank.

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.
