HONG KONG - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Hong Kong has a free market
economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods
and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four
times GDP. Hong Kong has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise
duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: hard
alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or
dumping laws. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic
slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China,
through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial
recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, its continued reliance
on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global
financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. The Hong Kong government
is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese
renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to
establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and
Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade
settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set
by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from
exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 12% of total system
deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2013. The government is pursuing efforts to
introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking
to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading
partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's total trade by value. Hong
Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be
imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of
mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 34.9
million in 2012, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong
Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms
seeking to list abroad. In 2012 mainland Chinese companies constituted about
46.6% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for
about 57.4% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as
Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry
has grown rapidly. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have
caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by
more than 4% in 2013. Lower and middle income segments of the population are
increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its
currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in
1983. In 2013, Hong Kong and China signed new agreements under the Closer
Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between
Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from January 2014,
cover services and trade facilitation, and will improve access to the
mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies

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.
