GJEPC FACILITATES INDIA’S FIRST JEWELLERY EXPORTS THROUGH COURIER MODE FROM MUMBAI
(ICE) – ROMA, 8 SET – As a part of its initiative to simplify international trade, the Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC), the apex body of gem and jewellery export in the country, has facilitated India’s first jewellery exports through courier mode from Mumbai.
India’s first 4 jewellery exports from Caratlane via Air India from India to USA departed last Wednesday. The total export value was over $1000.
Vipul Shah, Chairman, GJEPC said, “The swift implementation of exports via courier mode within one year of its announcement underscores the government’s commitment to this vital sector. Mumbai Customs has taken this step at a crucial juncture, considering the industry’s current challenges. Enabling exports through courier mode will not only open doors to new markets but also significantly expand the value added exports from the sector by reaching directly to retail and end consumers abroad.”
Shah further emphasized, “The utilization of courier mode for exports has the potential to reduce costs by as much as 70% compared to cargo mode, thereby facilitating the entry of numerous jewellery businesses across India into the realm of e-commerce.”
Mumbai, being a pivotal export destination, will greatly benefit from this service, with its proximity to key gem and jewellery manufacturing regions, including Gujarat.
This development is expected to further enhance the growth of the industry and open up new avenues for exports, especially in the e-commerce segment.

SAUDI ARABIA AND ITALY TO SIGN 18 COOPERATION AGREEMENTS ACROSS VARIOUS SECTORS
(ICE) – ROMA, 5 SET –
MILAN: In a bid to further deepen economic and trade ties, Saudi Arabia and Italy will sign 18 cooperation agreements across various fields, said Khalid Al-Falih, the Kingdom’s minister of investment.
Speaking at the Saudi-Italian Investment Forum in Milan on Sept. 4 at the Gallia hotel, Al-Falih said that both countries can complement and leverage each other’s strengths to build a better future.
During the speech, Al-Falih invited Italian firms to come and operate in the Kingdom, noting that 150 licensed companies from the European nation are already functioning in Saudi Arabia.
Italy clearly belongs in the list of top 10 economies globally, it is only in the top 20 as an investor in the Kingdom, and the value of the bilateral non-oil trade amounts to a mere $1.4 billion— which means they are far from reaching the full potential of their partnership.
Saudi Arabia and Italy should specifically focus on expanding the scale and quality of joint investments to further deepen the strategic relationship between the nations.
Talking about the energy sector, the minister noted that Saudi Arabia and Italy could become partners in green technologies, as the Kingdom leads the sustainable journey in the region from the front.
With regards to energy and sustainability, the Kingdom is an ideal partner, including for decarbonized hydrogen – blue and green – given the plans and projects to lead the world in clean energy production, just as they have been global leaders in traditional energy for 80 years.
Reiterating Saudi Arabia’s aim to become a global tourism destination, the Kingdom wants to attract 100 million visitors by 2030.
He went on to say that Saudi Arabia’s gross domestic product has already achieved a cumulative growth rate of 66 percent since the launch of Vision 2030.
Speaking to Arab News after his address to the forum, Al-Falih said Saudi Arabia has become one of the top 10 countries in attracting foreign investment.
The size of foreign investments is satisfactorily good, the minister said, adding that such ventures by non-Saudi entities increased by over 30 percent in 2022 compared to the previous 12 months, and is likely to rise during this year.
He revealed that his ministry will soon announced the number of investments the Kingdom has managed to attract.
Saudi Arabia is not only attracting investments in petrochemicals and energy (sectors). they are also attracting investments in sectors like digital technology, health, tourism, culture, and logistics.
The MoUs covered several sectors with energy, especially renewable energy, on top of these sectors.
They also signed agreements in the health (sector), and this is a good thing since Italy is an advanced country in the health sector. There were also agreements in construction and industry sectors.
Meanwhile, Al-Falih invited Italy’s Minister of Enterprise Adolfo Urso to Riyadh to consolidate cooperation between the two countries and foster collaboration between companies.
NTP aims to develop the necessary infrastructure and create an environment that enables the public, private, and non-profit sectors to achieve the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, Launched in 2016, NTP is assigned with 35 percent of the Vision’s goals, which are 34 out of 96 strategic objectives. It works with seven leading entities and more than 50 participating entities.
The Vision 2030 aims to position Saudi Arabia among the top 15 economies in the world, and NTP launched many platforms and initiatives to promote and attract high-quality investments to the Kingdom, including the “Invest Saudi” initiative which organizes forums around the world to market the Kingdom as an attractive destination for enterprise.
Currently, in the Saudia arabia it only takes one day and two documents to obtain an investment license in Saudi Arabia.
Saudi Arabia had the fastest growing economy of all G20 countries in 2022. In quarter one 2023, the Kingdom’s GDP growth reached 3.9 percent, surpassing most G20 countries.
According to the organizing committee, the forum was attended by over 1,100 participants, of which 70 percent were from Italy and 26 percent from Saudi Arabia. The attendees included business leaders, government officials, policymakers, and investors. (ICE RIYADH)
