Gems and jewellery exports recover to US$ 1764. 06 million in Aug 2020

MUMBAI: The gems and jewellery exports have shown signs of recovery and has registered at US$ 1764. 06 million in August 2020, as compared to US$ 36 Million in April 2020. The recovery is due to growth in demand for diamonds and jewellery in international markets like US, China, Europe etc which have opened for trade. However, as compared with a year on year comparison, gross exports at US$ 1764. 06 Million in August 2020 is showing decline of 41. 55 per cent, as compared to gross exports of US$ 3018. 32 in August 2019. Commenting on the export number, Colin Shah, chairperson, The Gem and Jewellery Export Promotion Council said, “We are optimistic of the near and long term, as several countries are now open for trade. We have witnessed initial signs of recovery from markets like the US, China, Europe and the export orders have seen a steady rise month on month over the last 4-5 months. From US$ 36 million worth of exports in April 2020, the export numbers have recorded US$ 1764. 06 million in August 2020, which is a healthy recovery. All the gems and jewellery export units are working in full swing and the trade is getting back to normalcy. We are hopeful that we will be able to restrict the downside of exports to just over 20-25 percent at the closure of the fiscal year, as compared with previous year exports. ??? NT
