SAUDI ARABIA ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Saudi Arabia has an oil-based economy with strong government
controls over major economic activities. It possesses about 16% of the world's
proven petroleum reserves, ranks as the largest exporter of petroleum, and
plays a leading role in OPEC. The petroleum sector accounts for roughly 80% of
budget revenues, 45% of GDP, and 90% of export earnings. Saudi Arabia is
encouraging the growth of the private sector in order to diversify its economy
and to employ more Saudi nationals. Diversification efforts are focusing on
power generation, telecommunications, natural gas exploration, and
petrochemical sectors. Over 6 million foreign workers play an important role in
the Saudi economy, particularly in the oil and service sectors, while Riyadh is
struggling to reduce unemployment among its own nationals. Saudi officials are
particularly focused on employing its large youth population, which generally
lacks the education and technical skills the private sector needs. Riyadh has
substantially boosted spending on job training and education, most recently
with the opening of the King Abdallah University of Science and Technology -
Saudi Arabia's first co-educational university. As part of its effort to
attract foreign investment, Saudi Arabia acceded to the WTO in 2005. The
government has begun establishing six "economic cities" in different
regions of the country to promote foreign investment and plans to spend $373
billion between 2010 and 2014 on social development and infrastructure projects
to advance Saudi Arabia's economic development

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.
