受印度政府黄金限制 黄金进口4倍增长
关键字:黄金进口
路透社2月5日报导,受到印度政府的黄金进口限制措施导致国内黄金供应短缺的影响,印度珠宝商转为进口金饰。根据印度珠宝首饰贸易联盟的数据,今年一月印度金饰进口量约达4-5公吨,与去年11月的1.0-1.5公吨相比有四倍增长。印度最大黄金贸易商Riddi Siddhi Bullions Ltd (RSBL)总裁柯塔瑞(Prithviraj Kothari)表示,由于黄金供给不足,该公司上月自杜拜进口约700-800公斤的金饰,这样的做法能有效控制成本。
印度政府为抑制黄金消费避免经常帐赤字持续飙升,接连制出了多项措施,其中黄金进口关税已经较2012年初的1%提高十倍至10%,消费税提高至9%,推出80/20黄金进口限制措施(进口黄金需有20%用于再出口),祭出交易税,并且禁止银行对黄金ETF(交易所交易基金)进行融资等。这些措施也造成了印度国内的黄金供应短缺,伤害全球最大金饰出口国的印度金饰出口产业,并使得印度国内金价较国际金价有高达每盎司160美元的溢价。
印度媒体此前报导,受到政府限制黄金进口导致原料供应大减的影响,至三月止的本财政年度,印度的金饰出口或将较上年度减半。印度是全球最大的金饰市场,也是最大的金饰出口国,世界黄金协会(WGC)数据显示,2012年该国的金饰需求量为552公吨。根据印度珠宝首饰出口促进委员会(GJEPC)的数据,2012/13财年,印度金饰出口额为129.3亿美元。
汤森路透黄金矿业公司(Thomson Reuters GFMS)报告称,中国大陆作为全球最大的黄金首饰加工国,2013年该国金饰需求达724公吨,占据全球的33%。而印度方面需求却因为政府加强对黄金进口的管控而下滑1%,2013年印度金饰需求为613公吨。中国与印度合计占据了全球金饰需求的51%。数据显示,2013年全球金饰加工需求年增13%至2,198公吨,创下五年新高,占总黄金需求的46%比重。
市场研究资源网站Research and Markets在其「2012-2016印度珠宝首饰市场」报告中预估,印度珠宝首饰市场的年复合增长率将达到14.93%,并预计在2014年将重新成为全球首饰市场的驱动力量,主要是受到印度金饰需求的带动。
