GERMANY - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The German economy - the fifth
largest economy in the world in PPP terms and Europe's largest - is a leading
exporter of machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment and
benefits from a highly skilled labor force. Like its Western European
neighbors, Germany faces significant demographic challenges to sustained
long-term growth. Low fertility rates and declining net immigration are
increasing pressure on the country's social welfare system and necessitate
structural reforms. Reforms launched by the government of Chancellor Gerhard
SCHROEDER (1998-2005), deemed necessary to address chronically high
unemployment and low average growth, has contributed to strong growth and
falling unemployment. These advances, as well as a government subsidized,
reduced working hour scheme, help explain the relatively modest increase in
unemployment during the 2008-09 recession - the deepest since World War II -
and its decrease to 5.3% in 2013. The new German government introduced a
minimum wage of $11 per hour to take effect in 2015. Stimulus and stabilization
efforts initiated in 2008 and 2009 and tax cuts introduced in Chancellor Angela
MERKEL's second term increased Germany's total budget deficit - including
federal, state, and municipal - to 4.1% in 2010, but slower spending and higher
tax revenues reduced the deficit to 0.8% in 2011 and in 2012 Germany reached a
budget surplus of 0.1%. A constitutional amendment approved in 2009 limits the
federal government to structural deficits of no more than 0.35% of GDP per
annum as of 2016 though the target was already reached in 2012. Following the
March 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster, Chancellor Angela MERKEL announced in
May 2011 that eight of the country's 17 nuclear reactors would be shut down
immediately and the remaining plants would close by 2022. Germany hopes to
replace nuclear power with renewable energy. Before the shutdown of the eight
reactors, Germany relied on nuclear power for 23% of its electricity generating
capacity and 46% of its base-load electricity 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.
