world is facing a looming diamond shortage as globaldemand increasingly
outstrips supply. This is leading to a sharprise in diamond prices.
Today,
demand and supply are largely inbalance at approximately $11 billion
annually. By 2012 - whenGahcho Kue is expected to achieve full
production
- global demandfor diamonds is expected to rise to $18 billion,
outstrippingsupply by approximately $7 billion annually. As a result,
diamondprices are projected to rise significantly within the next
10
years.
