We expect the already embattled Croatian consumer to continue to suffer in 2013 on the back of a challenging labour market situation and government-imposed austerity measures. Factors underpinning our view include double-digit unemployment (which reached a record high 21.9% in February 2013) and weak wage growth. With the household debt load currently standing at about 60% of GDP, we expect further household deleveraging. In the meantime, weak domestic demand and easing food price pressure will act as the main drivers of declining inflation over the next few quarters, but caution that the liberalisation of the energy sector will see energy prices remain elevated in 2013.

The IT market had a difficult 2012 in the midst of recession and wider eurozone uncertainty - a trend that has extended into 2013. The economic environment in recent years has put the IT market on a lower growth trajectory, but, despite these challenges, it has still managed to continue expanding. The Czech Republic's IT market is forecast to expand by 3.2% in local currency terms to CZK89.1bn in 2013, with growth in IT spending stimulated by greater investment in international process integration and networking, countering a slowdown in the retail hardware market. Over the medium term, a recovery in retail spending will add to the positive impact of government ICT initiatives, often backed by EU subsidies to propel growth.

The Thai economy grew very strongly in late 2012, and BMI sees the recovery continuing into 2013, although with somewhat less force. In Q412 GDP growth was a spectacular 18.9% year-on-year (y-o-y), bringing expansion for the year as a whole to an above-consensus 6.4%. The very strong Q412 number reflected base effects, as the economy had plummeted in Q411 due to disastrous nationwide floods.

BMI View: Seemingly endless gas pricing disputes with Russia colour Ukraine's energy landscape, putting pressure on the country to maximise domestic production and diversify supply sources.

Total soft drinks volume and current value sales are expected to grow steadily from 2014 onwards. The recovery of the market will be underpinned by gradual economic improvements in Croatia.
