Packaged food was set to record double-digit growth in value terms in Brazil in 2012. The strong growth was driven in part by rising prices of commodities such as sugar, wheat flour, soybeans and cocoa. The increasing sales of specific products in bakery, dairy and confectionery also played an important role in the performance of packaged food as consumers, in particular from lower-income brackets, are increasingly interested in trying new and different products.

Constant value sales declined for overall packaged food during the review period. This was linked to high inflation, which reached double-digit levels for most years during the review period.

We expect Bahrain's political crisis to rumble on over the coming months as a fundamental resolution continues to prove elusive. While the risk of ongoing public protests remains elevated we believe the government's firm grip on power should see its ability to form, pass and implement its own policy programme remain intact. Nevertheless it is our view that elevated risk aversion will continue to undermine growth within Bahrain's construction sector and keep a lid on foreign investment. Indeed, we expect gross fixed capital formation, and by extension the construction industry, to underperform the wider economy over the medium term as public spending constraints, inhibitive project financing conditions and a depressed tourism sector contribute to lacklustre growth. Having expanded by an estimated 3.9% in 2012, we are forecasting the construction sector to grow by a still relatively modest 4.0% in 2013 - well below the levels seen between 2001 and 2008.

Our outlook for Kazakhstan remains broadly optimistic, although we underline growing risks related to resource nationalism and geological complications on major prospects that could deter foreign investors. KazMunaiGaz's acquisition of a 10% stake in Karachaganak will greatly improve the upstream environment, particularly for the international oil companies (IOCs) involved in the project, but other examples of growing state control over the sector are indicative of a worrying trend. Recent divestment by ConocoPhillips of its Kazakh assets further strengthens our expectation that IOCs could move away from the country's hydrocarbons market.

Polish IT spending is expected to reach PLN29.3bn in 2013, up 4.8%. Growth of IT spending will be squeezed by a dip in macroeconomic performance in 2013, with real GDP growth forecast to slow to 1.9%. However an improved outlook from 2014 to 2017, with real GDP growth averaging 3.8% annually, will see the market growth accelerate. Poland is expected to maintain its status as one of Central and Eastern Europe's fastest-growing IT markets over the 2013-2017 forecast period, thanks to EU funding for ICT and information society-related initiatives, as well as a buoyant outsourcing and cloud computing market and rising real incomes in the later part of our forecast period.

Fears over China's shaky financial system, overvalued property market and huge industrial overcapacity have been replaced by hopes that policymakers can engineer a recovery back above the 8% level. We maintain our view that the prospects for H113 look relatively bright. However, there may be some negative surprises in store as the recovery comes up against the country's structural hurdles. As such, we are forecasting real GDP growth of 7.5% in 2013, versus the Bloomberg consensus of 8.1%.
