We continue to believe that the next several years will see Chilean real GDP growth trend lower as Chinese copper demand growth trends lower, weighing on Chilean exports and investment. We also see domestic demand trending lower in 2013 and 2014, mostly on easing investment and relatively less robust growth in private consumption. Indeed, a steady, multi-year decline in retail sales since 2010 leads us to believe that the Chilean consumer is entering a period of slower growth.

BMI View: Although Vietnam's telecoms sector is generally exhibiting declining growth momentum we believe the market still harbours significant potential given that the bulk of consumers are using basic, lowvalue services.

However, the competitive landscape is dominated by state companies, leaving little opportunities for foreign players.

GlobalData has released its new Country report, "PharmaPoint: Prostate Cancer - Australia Drug Forecast and Market Analysis to 2022". The recent approvals of second-line metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC) therapies like J&J's Zytiga (abiraterone acetate) and Medivation/Astellas' Xtandi (enzalutamide) will drive strong market growth over the next decade. These safe and orally administered treatments will provide safety and convenience benefits over the current standard of care, chemotherapy with docetaxel, while prolonging the overall survival of patients with mCRPC. The December 12, 2012 FDA approval of Zytiga for the added indication of chemotherapy-naive mCRPC marks the onset of a new treatment paradigm for the disease, in which chemotherapy is relegated to second-line therapy and beyond. For patients with earlier-stage prostate cancer, androgen deprivation therapy with LHRH agonists and first-generation antiandrogens remains the standard of care for suppressing testosterone levels and temporarily controlling the disease.

Less complicated design and structure of carbon taxes, makes it easier to quickly implement them in comparison to emission trading programs. Implementing carbon taxes will have an immediate impact on the thermal power generation sector, which is the largest contributor to carbon emissions worldwide. Increased adoption of carbon taxes through a year-on-year phase-in process will enable the prediction of future energy and power prices with improved accuracy. Increasing carbon emissions are a serious concern, as they are causing an increase in temperature, leading to rising sea levels, which in turn are causing a number of adverse effects globally. China, the US, the UK, Australia and countries in the EU have set targets for mandatory energy cuts and are improving energy efficiency in order to curtail the increase of carbon emissions. For the same reasons, these countries, based upon the distinct features of accelerated emission control, are increasingly considering carbon taxation over emission trading schemes to quickly reduce their carbon emissions.
