INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
India’s current account
deficit narrowed in the quarter ended September as government measures to curb
imports, especially gold, kicked in. The current account deficit, the
excess of a country’s imports of goods and services over exports, narrowed to $
5.2 billion from $ 21 billion in the year ago period, according to provisional
Reserve Bank of India data. Finance Minister P. Chidambaram said the CAD for
the year will be less than $ 60 billion or 3 per cent of GDP and the latest
data suggests the government may achieve the target.
India was ranked 94th
among the world’s most corrupt nations list. Denmark and New Zealand topped as
the cleanest while Somalia emerged as the most corrupt.
India’s services
sector activity witnessed a moderate improvement in November over the previous
month, even while indicating the fifth successive monthly contraction,
according the HSBC survey.
$53 million
estimated losses suffered by India due to phishing attacks during the third quarter,
according to a study by RSA. India ranks fourth in the list of nations hit by
phishing attacks. The US remained at the top of the charts. Phishing is the
process of acquiring information such as user names, passwords and credit card
details by sending e-mails disguised as official mails.
Rs.4080 million
worth of mobile-phone-based transactions by July 2013 compared to Rs.260
million in September, 2012, according to Deloitte report. The number of
transactions has shot up from 94000 to 701000.
India aims to earn
Rs.400000 million from the bandwidth auction set for January. The merger and
acquisition guidelines, cleared by a group of ministers, will be out before the
auction begins so that players can make informed decisions on the auctions.

WEBSITE DETAILS
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 and 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.
