為了在2016年前達成母公司英美資源(Anglo American)

設定的15%資本報酬率目標,

英國鑽石品牌戴比爾斯(DE BEERS)打算每年漲價5%,

相信全球需求升溫有助達到目標。

DE BEERS執行長梅利耶(Philippe Mellier)

在英國辦公室接受彭博訪問時說:

「我們了解長期趨勢,需求將大於供給。」

DE BEERS2013年資本報酬率約10%,梅利耶表示,

2014年鑽石已調漲1次,今年不會再漲。

拜美國經濟走出全球金融危機和中國中產階級需求強勁之賜,

原鑽價格過去5年漲逾1倍,2014年再漲約10%。

De Beers investigates SA sales, pricing leaks

BY ALLAN SECCOMBE, 11 四月 2014,

DE BEERS has launched internal and external investigations into how secret documents on the pricing and details of diamond sales in South Africa were leaked into the market, compromising the company and its clients.
The De Beers Price Book, which contains diamond valuation data and customer details and invoices in South Africa, was drawn up after a sale that De Beers calls a sight. The report was confidential and sent to the diamond regulator.
Diamond Intelligence Briefs diamond analyst Chaim Evan Zohar said he had copies of highly detailed data of output from De Beers Consolidated Mines, the South African arm of De Beers. This data included the categories, qualities, carat sizes and prices of production. There were also customer invoices detailing sales.
"The company is taking it very seriously, which is why we immediately launched a full-scale internal and external investigation," said De Beers spokeswoman Lynette Gould.
"It’s probably too early to know how this information could have made its way into the public domain which is why we have undertaken such a comprehensive investigation." Early indications were that no De Beers staff were involved in leaking the information, she said.
Mr Evan Zohar described the price book as "perhaps the most valuable and best protected ‘trade secret’ of De Beers." One of his sources, who he described as "intimately familiar" with De Beers, was quoted as saying: "This is the most secret part of De Beers — this has never been shared beyond a small, select nucleus of people."
The consequences are serious, Mr Evan Zohar said. The data on large diamonds, 10.8 carats and higher, is particularly sensitive.
"Even in the hands of nonsightholders, this kind of information is commercially toxic. It provides a total overview at any given time of all the large specials and exceptionals offered at a given sight at their original valuation prices," Mr Zohar said.
"We want to put South African DTC (De Beers Trading Company) sightholders on notice that the integrity of their businesses may have been compromised."
