Japan ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
In the years following World War II, government-industry
cooperation, a strong work ethic, mastery of high technology, and a
comparatively small defense allocation (1% of GDP) helped Japan develop a
technologically advanced economy. Two notable characteristics of the post-war
economy were the close interlocking structures of manufacturers, suppliers, and
distributors, known as keiretsu, and the guarantee of lifetime employment for a
substantial portion of the urban labor force. Both features are now eroding
under the dual pressures of global competition and domestic demographic change.
Japan's industrial sector is heavily dependent on imported raw materials and
fuels. A small agricultural sector is highly subsidized and protected, with
crop yields among the highest in the world. While self-sufficient in rice
production, Japan imports about 60% of its food on a caloric basis. For three
decades, overall real economic growth had been spectacular - a 10% average in
the 1960s, a 5% average in the 1970s, and a 4% average in the 1980s. Growth
slowed markedly in the 1990s, averaging just 1.7%, largely because of the after
effects of inefficient investment and an asset price bubble in the late 1980s
that required a protracted period of time for firms to reduce excess debt,
capital, and labor. Modest economic growth continued after 2000, but the
economy has fallen into recession three times since 2008. A sharp downturn in
business investment and global demand for Japan's exports in late 2008 pushed
Japan into recession. Government stimulus spending helped the economy recover
in late 2009 and 2010, but the economy contracted again in 2011 as the massive
9.0 magnitude earthquake and the ensuing tsunami in March disrupted
manufacturing. The economy has largely recovered in the two years since the
disaster, but reconstruction in the Tohoku region has been uneven. Prime
Minister Shinzo ABE has declared the economy his government's top priority; he
has overturned his predecessor's plan to permanently close nuclear power plants
and is pursuing an economic revitalization agenda of fiscal stimulus, monetary
easing, and structural reform. Japan joined the Trans Pacific Partnership
negotiations in 2013, a pact that would open Japan's economy to increased
foreign competition and create new export opportunities for Japanese
businesses. Measured on a purchasing power parity (PPP) basis that adjusts for
price differences, Japan in 2013 stood as the fourth-largest economy in the
world after second-place China, which surpassed Japan in 2001, and third-place
India, which edged out Japan in 2012. The new government will continue a
longstanding debate on restructuring the economy and reining in Japan's huge
government debt, which is exceeding 230% of GDP. To help raise government
revenue and reduce public debt, Japan decided in 2013 to gradually increase the
consumption tax to a total of 10% by the year 2015. Japan is making progress on
ending deflation due to a weaker yen and higher energy costs, but reliance on
exports to drive growth and an aging, shrinking population pose other major
long-term challenges for the economy.

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.
