BMI View: Over the medium to long term, Thailand will be facing intensive competition from neighbouring countries such as Malaysia, Indonesia and Philippines as they roll out plans to improve healthcare coverage and boost growth in the pharmaceutical industry. The intense competition coupled with the usage of compulsory licenses, regulatory lapses and widespread corruption will deter foreign investments into the sector. Despite this we highlight that the country's strong medical tourism sector and the impending implementation of the ASEAN Economic Committee will continue to attract private healthcare providers (and the related sub-sectors) into the country.

Despite some signs that the pace of economic contraction in Greece could finally start to ease, the depression is far from coming to an end. Latest figures show that industrial production, in particular, has been a heavy casualty of fiscal cut backs, dwindling investment and depressed consumer demand. Unsurprisingly, the retail sector is also still struggling, with retail sales contracting by 9.2% year-on-year (y-o-y) in May 2012, even though this marked an improvement on previous months. While this may suggest that the plunge in sales is close to bottoming out, the outlook for the sector is bleak since household wealth, incomes and employment prospects remain in the doldrums. In the meantime, headline consumer price inflation in Greece is slowly but surely heading towards deflationary territory, with the situation thus not providing optimism for value growth of food and drink sales.

BMI View: There is a clear impetus for improving the Kingdom's water and sewage supply performance, particularly in the main cities of Riyadh and Jeddah. The latter's water infrastructure has been neglected and is due for some favourable treatment from the public purse. The big spend announced for new water connections in the capital - with around US$560mn committed - comes in response to water shortages experienced during the summer of 2012. The authorities are unwilling to let these instances recur, which represents a marked shift in strategy and one that can clearly be attributed to the government's heightened sensitivity to public displeasure at poor public service provision.

South Africa's mobile sector continues to record strong subscriber growth despite a penetration rate of around 135% at the end of Q112, according to BMI data. We expect this trend to continue in the medium term as intense competition between the operators results in wider network coverage and lower tariffs. We also retain a positive outlook for the internet sector as considerable investments in wireless and wireline access technologies, as well as submarine and terrestrial cable networks, are set to drive growth. However, the contraction of the fixed-line sector could persist with increasing fixed-to-mobile substitution and limited competition in that sector.
