According to Bruce Cleaver, CEO, De Beers Group:
“„De Beers Group rough diamond sales continued at a steady level in the seventh sales cycle of 2022. In line with normal seasonal trends, we anticipate that sales in the next few cycles will be affected by the temporary closure of polishing factories for the Diwali holidays.
