TAnzania ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Tanzania is one
of the world's poorest economies in terms of per capita income, however, it has
achieved high overall growth rates based on gold production and tourism.
Tanzania has largely completed its transition to a liberalized market economy,
though the government retains a presence in sectors such as telecommunications,
banking, energy, and mining. The economy depends on agriculture, which accounts
for more than one-quarter of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs about
80% of the work force. The World Bank, the IMF, and bilateral donors have
provided funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's aging economic infrastructure,
including rail and port infrastructure that are important trade links for
inland countries. Recent banking reforms have helped increase private-sector
growth and investment, and the government has increased spending on agriculture
to 7% of its budget. The financial sector in Tanzania has expanded in recent
years and foreign-owned banks account for about 48% of the banking industry''s
total assets. Competition among foreign commercial banks has resulted in
significant improvements in the efficiency and quality of financial services,
though interest rates are still relatively high, reflecting high fraud risk. All
land in Tanzania is owned by the government, which can lease land for up to 99
years. Proposed reforms to allow for land ownership, particularly foreign land
ownership, remain unpopular. Continued donor assistance and solid macroeconomic
policies supported a positive growth rate, despite the world recession. In
2008, Tanzania received the world''s largest Millennium Challenge Compact
grant, worth $698 million, and in December 2012 the Millennium Challenge
Corporation selected Tanzania for a second Compact. Dar es Salaam used fiscal
stimulus and loosened monetary policy to ease the impact of the global
recession. GDP growth in 2009-12 was a respectable 6% per year due to high gold
prices and increased production.

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.
