BELGIUM ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
This modern, open, and private-enterprise-based economy has capitalized on its central geographic location, highly developed transport network, and diversified industrial and commercial base. Industry is concentrated mainly in the more heavily-populated region of Flanders in the north. With few natural resources, Belgium imports substantial quantities of raw materials and exports a large volume of manufactures, making its economy vulnerable to shifts in foreign demand, particularly in Belgium’s EU trade partners. Roughly three-quarters of Belgium's trade is with other EU countries. In 2014 Belgian GDP grew by 0.9%, the unemployment rate stabilized at 8.5%, and the government maintained the budget deficit below the euro-zone threshold of 3% of GDP for a second year in a row. Prime Minister Charles MICHEL’s center-right government has pledged to further reduce the deficit in response to EU pressure to reduce Belgium’s high public debt, which remains above 100% of GDP, but such efforts could also dampen economic growth. In addition to restrained public spending, low wage growth and high unemployment promise to curtail a more robust recovery in private consumption. The government has pledged to pursue an reform program to improve Belgium’s competitiveness, including changes to tax policy, labor market rules, and welfare benefits. These changes risk worsening tensions with trade unions and triggering extended strikes.

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.
