PAKISTAN - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Decades of internal political disputes and low levels of
foreign investment have led to slow growth and underdevelopment in Pakistan.
Agriculture accounts for more than one-fourth of output and two-fifths of employment.
Textiles account for most of Pakistan's export earnings, and Pakistan's failure
to diversify its exportshas left the country vulnerable to shifts in world
demand. Official unemployment was 6.9% in 2014, but this fails to capture the
true picture, because much of the economy is informal and underemployment
remains high. Pakistan’s human development continues to lag behind most of the
region.. As a result of political and macroeconomic instability, the Pakistani
rupee has depreciated more than 40% since 2007. The government agreed to an
International Monetary Fund Standby Arrangement in November 2008 to preventa
balance of payments crisis, but the IMF ended the Arrangement early because of
Pakistan’s failure to implement required reforms. The economy has stabilized,
it continues to underperform and foreign investment has not returned to levels
seen during themid-2000’s, due to investor concerns related to governance,
electricity shortages, , and a slow-down in the global economy. Remittances
from overseas workers, averaging more than$1 billion a month, remain a bright
spot for Pakistan. After a small current account surplus in fiscal year 2011
(July 2010/June 2011), Pakistan's current account turned to a deficit where it
remained through 2014, spurred by higher prices for imported oil and lower
prices for exported cotton. In September 2013, after facing balance of payments
concerns, Pakistan entered into a three-year, $6.7 billion IMF Extended Fund
Facility. The Sharif government has since made modest progress implementing
fiscal and energy reforms, and in December 2014 the IMF described Pakistan’s
progress as “broadly on track.” Pakistan remains stuck in a low-income,
low-growth trap, with growth averaging about 3.5% per year from 2008 to 2014.
Pakistan must address long standing issues related to government revenues and
the electricity and natural gas sectorsin order to spur the amount of economic
growth that will be necessary to employ its growing and rapidly urbanizing
population, more than half of which is under 22. Other long term challenges
include expanding investment in education and healthcare, adapting to the
effects of climate change and natural disasters, and reducing dependence on
foreign donors.

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.
