RAPAPORT... The Panama Diamond Exchange has
been renamed the World Jewelry & Diamond Hub, Panama, to reflect a broader
range of goods being traded in the bourse. 
“While the trade in diamonds is a
principal component of the activity at our bourse, it is certainly not the only
one," said Mahesh Khemlani (pictured), the exchange’s president. “A large number of
our members deal in jewelry as well, and there is also a very active trade in
emeralds and other colored gemstones.”
Not to be confused with the World
Jewelry Hub (WJH), which hosts the exchange, management also wanted a name that
underlined the connection between the two institutions.
Separately, the WJH reported the
first export of finished jewelry manufactured in its free-trade zone since the
hub was inaugurated
last year. The transaction was managed under the center's expanded free-zone
license, which now permits manufacturing facilities within its jurisdiction.
"This was a small export,
but a giant step for the World Jewelry Hub," said Khemlani. "The
expansion of the license allows us to develop the range of activities within
our center to include both trading and manufacturing, realizing our vision of
becoming a one-stop shop for the jewelry industry.”
