SAUDI ARABIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Saudi Arabia has an oil-based
economy with strong government controls over major economic activities. It
possesses about 16% of the world's proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the
largest exporter of petroleum, and plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum
sector accounts for roughly 80% of budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of
export earnings. Saudi Arabia is encouraging the growth of the private sector
in order to diversify its economy and to employ more Saudi nationals.
Diversification efforts are focusing on power generation, telecommunications,
natural gas exploration, and petrochemical sectors. Over 6 million foreign
workers play an important role in the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil
and service sectors, while Riyadh is struggling to reduce unemployment among
its own nationals. Saudi officials are particularly focused on employing its
large youth population, which generally lacks the education and technical
skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has substantially boosted spending on
job training and education, most recently with the opening of the King Abdallah
University of Science and Technology - Saudi Arabia's first co-educational
university. As part of its effort to attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia
acceded to the WTO in 2005. The government has begun establishing six
"economic cities" in different regions of the country to promote
foreign investment and plans to spend $373 billion between 2010 and 2014 on
social development and infrastructure projects to advance Saudi Arabia's
economic development

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.
