- This quarter BMI has revised and restructured its tourism reports, incorporating a greater range of data and focusing on the hotel industry, the value of the tourism industry itself, and the impact of macroeconomic factors.

BMI View: Cambodia is a market with strong growth potential for pharmaceutical firms, given the many unmet medical needs. However, we highlight that such frontier markets are highly risky, given the lack of proper regulation, extensive bureaucracy and rampant corruption. As a consequence, firms looking to expand in these regions must contend with low or negative sales growth initially.

BMI View: Nuclear power accounts for the majority of electricity generation in France, although the government has an ambitious target of reducing nuclear power's share from 75% to 50% by 2025. It's a bold target and not without its opponents; consumers could face an increase in electricity bills of 30% by 2017, according to a report by France's Energy Regulation Commission. BMI believes that France is wise to take steps to diversify its electricity generating mix. The future of the nuclear power industry has been unclear in Europe, following Germany's decision to phase out all nuclear power stations, and macroeconomic conditions in the region are cutting profit margins, making the expense of nuclear power stations less attractive. Hydroelectric power will continue to play a key role in the electricity mix, with several firms keen to bid for hydroelectric concessions - although French politicians are reluctant to open up hydroelectric permits. There are also moves to encourage consumers to use electricity more efficiently, with EUR90mn of funding released in March 2013 to finance energy efficiency projects, including smart meters.

"Trends and Opportunities in the Jamaican Life Insurance Industry to 2016: Market Profile" is the result of extensive research into the insurance industry, covering the life insurance market in Jamaica. It provides insights and overview into the Jamaican insurance industry. This report also includes growth prospects for the life insurance market in Jamaica and sub-segments such as individual and group insurance.

Although BMI believes the LDP's return to office in Japan will boost the country's economic recovery, we also think the resulting stimulus will be relatively short-lived and will not be enough to push the GDP growth rate up past the 1.0% mark in this year. The new government has signalled its desire to follow an aggressive policy of fiscal and monetary stimulus. The LDP has its eyes on elections to the Upper House due in July and is hoping that by boosting the economy it will be able to win a majority in that chamber, currently controlled by the opposition. To that end it has announced that it is looking at new subsidies, public works, and investments in sunrise industries. It is also expected to apply pressure on the Bank of Japan to ease monetary policy. While all this will have an expansionary short term effect, we note that the Japanese economy has in recent years responded only partially to stimulus measures of this kind. We also believe that after the elections worries over the fiscal deficit will return. For that reason we are holding to our conservative estimate that GDP growth will accelerate to no more than 0.9% this year, up from an estimated 0.5% in 2012.
