UAE - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
The UAE has an open economy with
a high per capita income and a sizable annual trade surplus. Successful efforts
at economic diversification have reduced the portion of GDP based on oil and
gas output to 25%. Since the discovery of oil in the UAE more than 30 years
ago, the country has undergone a profound transformation from an impoverished
region of small desert principalities to a modern state with a high standard of
living. The government has increased spending on job creation and
infrastructure expansion and is opening up utilities to greater private sector
involvement. In April 2004, the UAE signed a Trade and Investment Framework
Agreement with Washington and in November 2004 agreed to undertake negotiations
toward a Free Trade Agreement with the US; however, those talks have not moved
forward. The country's Free Trade Zones - offering 100% foreign ownership and
zero taxes - are helping to attract foreign investors. The global financial
crisis, tight international credit, and deflated asset prices constricted the
economy in 2009. UAE authorities tried to blunt the crisis by increasing
spending and boosting liquidity in the banking sector. The crisis hit Dubai
hardest, as it was heavily exposed to depressed real estate prices. Dubai
lacked sufficient cash to meet its debt obligations, prompting global concern
about its solvency. The UAE Central Bank and Abu Dhabi-based banks bought the
largest shares. In December 2009 Dubai received an additional $10 billion loan
from the emirate of Abu Dhabi. Dependence on oil, a large expatriate workforce,
and growing inflation pressures are significant long-term challenges. The UAE's
strategic plan for the next few years focuses on diversification and creating
more opportunities for nationals through improved education and increased
private sector employment

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.
