KUWAIT - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Kuwait has a geographically small,
but wealthy, relatively open economy with crude oil reserves of about 102
billion barrels - about 7% of world reserves. Petroleum accounts for nearly
half of GDP, 95% of export revenues, and 95% of government income. Kuwaiti
officials have committed to increasing oil production to 4 million barrels per
day by 2020. The rise in global oil prices throughout 2011 and 2012 is reviving
government consumption and economic growth. Kuwait has experienced a 20%
increase in government budget revenue, which has led to higher budget
expenditures, particularly wage hikes for many public sector employees. Kuwait
has done little to diversify its economy, in part, because of this positive
fiscal situation, and, in part, due to the poor business climate and the historically
acrimonious relationship between the National Assembly and the executive
branch, which has stymied most movement on economic reforms. In 2010, Kuwait
passed an economic development plan that pledges to spend up to $130 billion
over five years to diversify the economy away from oil, attract more
investment, and boost private sector participation in the economy.

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.
