austraLia ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The Australian economy
has experienced continuous growth and features low unemployment, contained
inflation, very low public debt, and a strong and stable financial system. By
2012, Australia had experienced more than 20 years of continued economic
growth, averaging 3.5% a year. Demand for resources and energy from Asia and
especially China has grown rapidly, creating a channel for resources
investments and growth in commodity exports. The high Australian dollar has
hurt the manufacturing sector, while the services sector is the largest part of
the Australian economy, accounting for about 70% of GDP and 75% of jobs.
Australia was comparatively unaffected by the global financial crisis as the
banking system has remained strong and inflation is under control. Australia
has benefited from a dramatic surge in its terms of trade in recent years,
stemming from rising global commodity prices. Australia is a significant
exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Australia's abundant and
diverse natural resources attract high levels of foreign investment and include
extensive reserves of coal, iron, copper, gold, natural gas, uranium, and
renewable energy sources. A series of major investments, such as the US$40
billion Gorgon Liquid Natural Gas project, will significantly expand the
resources sector. Australia is an open market with minimal restrictions on
imports of goods and services. The process of opening up has increased
productivity, stimulated growth, and made the economy more flexible and
dynamic. Australia plays an active role in the World Trade Organization, APEC,
the G20, and other trade forums. Australia has bilateral free trade agreements
(FTAs) with Chile, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, Thailand, and the US, has
a regional FTA with ASEAN and New Zealand, is negotiating agreements with
China, India, Indonesia, Japan, and the Republic of Korea, as well as with its
Pacific neighbors and the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, and is also
working on the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement with Brunei Darussalam, Canada,
Chile, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, the US, and Vietnam.

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.
