new Zealand ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Over the past
20 years the government has transformed New Zealand from an agrarian economy dependent
on concessionary British market access to a more industrialized, free market
economy that can compete globally. This dynamic growth has boosted real incomes
- but left behind some at the bottom of the ladder - and broadened and deepened
the technological capabilities of the industrial sector. Per capita income rose
for ten consecutive years until 2007 in purchasing power parity terms, but fell
in 2008-09. Debt-driven consumer spending drove robust growth in the first half
of the decade, helping fuel a large balance of payments deficit that posed a
challenge for economic managers. Inflationary pressures caused the central bank
to raise its key rate steadily from January 2004 until it was among the highest
in the OECD in 2007-08; international capital inflows attracted to the high
rates further strengthened the currency and housing market, however,
aggravating the current account deficit. The economy fell into recession before
the start of the global financial crisis and contracted for five consecutive
quarters in 2008-09. In line with global peers, the central bank cut interest
rates aggressively and the government developed fiscal stimulus measures. The
economy posted a 2% decline in 2009, but pulled out of recession late in the
year, and achieved roughly 2% per year growth in 2010-12. Nevertheless, key
trade sectors remain vulnerable to weak external demand. The government plans
to raise productivity growth and develop infrastructure, while reining in
government spending.

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.
