Demand for diamonds rises two times faster than supply, which grows on average by only 3% on average per year. Such data was given by Joseph-Alexandre Riachi, general manager of the investment company Diampatrimoine.
"The offer is limited, as the discovery of new mines is becoming less frequent, while the existing mines are gradually depleted, and in the event of a crisis, mining companies prefer to keep diamonds in warehouses in order to maintain prices at which they are interested," - said the expert in an interview with Internet resource Capital, which specializes in economic information.
