THAILAND - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
With a well-developed
infrastructure, a free-enterprise economy, generally pro-investment policies, and
strong export industries, Thailand achieved steady growth due largely to
industrial and agriculture exports - mostly electronics, agricultural
commodities, automobiles and parts, and processed foods. Unemployment, at less
than 1% of the labor force, stands as one of the lowest levels in the world,
which puts upward pressure on wages in some industries. Thailand also attracts
nearly 2.5 million migrant workers from neighboring countries. The Thai
government in 2013 implemented a nation-wide 300 baht ($10) per day minimum
wage policy and deployed new tax reforms designed to lower rates on
middle-income earners. The Thai economy has weathered internal and external
economic shocks in recent years. The global economic recession severely cut
Thailand's exports, with most sectors experiencing double-digit drops. In late
2011 Thailand's recovery was interrupted by historic flooding in the industrial
areas in Bangkok and its five surrounding provinces, crippling the
manufacturing sector. The government approved flood mitigation projects worth
$11.7 billion, which were started in 2012, to prevent similar economic damage,
and an additional $75 billion for infrastructure over the following seven
years. This was expected to lead to an economic upsurge but growth has remained
slow, in part due to ongoing political unrest and resulting uncertainties.
Spending on infrastructure will require re-approval once a new government is
seated.

Gross Profit Margin used to assess a firm's financial health by
revealing the proportion of money left over from revenues after accounting for
the cost of goods sold. Gross profit margin serves as the source for paying
additional expenses and future savings. The company's figure is 6.78%. When
compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower. This
indicated that company may have problems with control over its costs.
Net Profit Margin is the indicator of the company's efficiency in that
net profit takes into consideration all expenses of the company. A low profit
margin indicates a low margin of safety, higher risk that a decline in sales
will erase profits and result in a net loss. The company's figure is -2.47%.
When compared with the industry average, the ratio of the company was lower.
Return on Assets measures how efficiently profits are being generated
from the assets employed in the business when compared with the ratios of firms
in a similar business. A low ratio in comparison with industry averages

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.
