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.
