CHINA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Since the late 1970s China has moved from a closed, centrally planned
system to a more market-oriented one that plays a major global role - in 2010
China became the world's largest exporter. Reforms began with the phasing out
of collectivized agriculture, and expanded to include the gradual
liberalization of prices, fiscal decentralization, increased autonomy for state
enterprises, creation of a diversified banking system, development of stock
markets, rapid growth of the private sector, and opening to foreign trade and
investment. China has implemented reforms in a gradualist fashion. In recent
years, China has renewed its support for state-owned enterprises in sectors it
considers important to "economic security," explicitly looking to
foster globally competitive national champions. After keeping its currency
tightly linked to the US dollar for years, in July 2005 China revalued its
currency by 2.1% against the US dollar and moved to an exchange rate system
that references a basket of currencies. From mid 2005 to late 2008 cumulative
appreciation of the renminbi against the US dollar was more than 20%, but the
exchange rate remained virtually pegged to the dollar from the onset of the
global financial crisis until June 2010, when Beijing allowed resumption of a
gradual appreciation. The restructuring of the economy and resulting efficiency
gains have contributed to a more than tenfold increase in GDP since 1978.
Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for price
differences, China in 2012 stood as the second-largest economy in the world
after the US, having surpassed Japan in 2001. The dollar values of China's
agricultural and industrial output each exceed those of the US; China is second
to the US in the value of services it produces. Still, per capita income is
below the world average. The Chinese government faces numerous economic
challenges, including: (a) reducing its high domestic savings rate and
correspondingly low domestic demand; (b) sustaining adequate job growth for
tens of millions of migrants and new entrants to the work force; (c) reducing
corruption and other economic crimes; and (d) containing environmental damage
and social strife related to the economy's rapid transformation. Economic
development has progressed further in coastal provinces than in the interior,
and by 2011 more than 250 million migrant workers and their dependents had
relocated to urban areas to find work. One consequence of population control
policy is that China is now one of the most rapidly aging countries in the
world. Deterioration in the environment - notably air pollution, soil erosion,
and the steady fall of the water table, especially in the North - is another
long-term problem. China continues to lose arable land because of erosion and
economic development. The Chinese government is seeking to add energy
production capacity from sources other than coal and oil, focusing on nuclear
and alternative energy development. In 2010-11, China faced high inflation
resulting largely from its credit-fueled stimulus program. Some tightening
measures appear to have controlled inflation, but GDP growth consequently
slowed to under 8% for 2012. An economic slowdown in Europe contributed to
China's, and is expected to further drag Chinese growth in 2013. Debt overhang
from the stimulus program, particularly among local governments, and a property
price bubble challenge policy makers currently. The government's 12th Five-Year
Plan, adopted in March 2011, emphasizes continued economic reforms and the need
to increase domestic consumption in order to make the economy less dependent on
exports in the future. However, China has made only marginal progress toward
these rebalancing goals.

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.
