印度黄金走私猖獗
关键词：印度黄金
自从去年印度上调黄金进口关税之后，就一直在和走私黄金做斗争。印度是仅次于中国的全球第二大黄金消费国，但在巨大的经常账户赤字(CAD)的压力下，印度上届政府将黄金进口关税上调至10%，并且规定进口黄金中的20%必须用于出口。也因此，印度的黄金走私变成了相当有利可图的行业。
在最近的一个案例中，一家黄金进口机构试图在免税的特殊经济区内绕开限制，进口黄金并出售给本地市场。最终由于当地警察阻止了其运有25块金条，共价值100万美元的汽车驶离特殊经济区后败露。
印度新任政府上台前被认为很可能会放松黄金进口限制，但不久前其第一个预算案中，并没有对黄金进口规定做出任何调整，使得黄金走私再度盛行。印度政府的数据显示，去年截获的走私黄金为2.34吨，而世界黄金协会(WGC)估计，去年总共有200到250吨的黄金被走私进入印度。
德国商业银行的分析师说：“由于进口限制仍在，走私会继续猖獗，这会对进口数据有影响。”上述案例是印度政府第一次在特殊经济区内查获黄金走私，这表明黄金走私的方法变得越来越多。
印度政府的消息人士称，当局知道这样的事情在发生，因此税务部门的调查变得更严格。特殊经济区如果被用来走私黄金，那么将带来巨大的问题，印度有185个特殊经济区。
