Polished Diamond Trade Increases

The diamond business worldwide is largely small business, but the reports come in ...
Belgium's polished diamond exports rose 15 percent year on year to $1.572 billion in September, while the volume of goods increased 8.8 percent to 615,218 carats, according to data collected by the Antwerp World Diamond Centre. Polished imports improved 10.4 percent to $1.523 billion, leaving next exports  of $49.5 million compared with a polished export deficit of $12.7 million in September 2013.
Someone in the biz would know what this means...where is the emerging market?   Are people investing because they fear a crack-up?  Diamonds are a refugee's wealth secreting medium.
