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.
