The fact that there was more information available on digestive problems and remedies resulted in more consumers being aware of the wide variety of products which can help with each particular problem. The health trend affected the way in which consumers ate and took care of their bodies. Strong publicity in magazines, on television, in schools and in health centres by health authorities and companies helped to spread information on the products available in Norway.

Chilean sales of consumer electronics devices are forecast to grow 7% in 2013, with many of the trends that drove stronger consumer electronics spending in H212 expected to continue in 2013. In 2012, we estimate real private consumption growth fell from 8.8% the previous year to 6.2%, and expect this trend to continue, but consumer electronics devices like tablets and smartphones should remain relatively buoyant. Banks are increasingly willing to extend credit and the unemployment rate remains low, contributing to our overall growth outlook for spending on consumer electronics devices such as PCs, flat-panel TV sets and smartphones A significant slowdown in external demand could have an effect on household spending, but the fundamentals of low household penetration of many digital devices, plus growing affordability, should keep the consumer electronics market on an upward trajectory.

Algerian authorities appear committed to healthcare development programme, the 2010-2014 tranche of which envisages the construction of more than 150 new hospitals and numerous other facilities. This expansion of medical services will provide an impetus for pharmaceutical consumption growth, which should also benefit from an expansion of private healthcare that is of increasing appeal to the country's growing middle class. However, we caution that cost-containment pressures are likely to prioritise generic and locally and regionally imported medicines over novel drugs.

Chile has the most developed IT market in Latin America in terms of PC penetration among the population, which, combined with active government policy and enterprise investment, has seen strong growth in recent years. We believe the market is moving to a slower growth trajectory as it matures, but growth is still set to be around 9% annually over our medium-term forecast to 2017. Early stage opportunities such as rapidly rising PC penetration are diminishing but vendors can still benefit from personal devices sales, while, in the public and enterprise segments, there is greater demand for more developed services such as software and IT services. Additionally, the government's commitment to continue investing and improving infrastructure that encourages IT development will maintain the country's strong growth trajectory.

We are positive on the outlook for Botswana's mining sector over our forecast period, to 2017. Diamond output will remain the mainstay of Botswanan mining production, boosted by new projects being planned by both Gem Diamonds and Lucara Diamond Corp.; however, key mining projects, such as Discovery Metals' Boseto project, are also being developed in the copper, uranium and coal sub-sectors. Botswana's mining sector is on course for stable growth over the next few years and we forecast the sector to average 3.1% growth from 2012 to 2017, reaching a value of US$5.96bn by 2017.

Micronutrients are essential elements that are used for growth and regulation of plant's vital physiological activities. Though these are required in trace amounts, they are as important as macronutrients. Globally, agriculture micronutrients application has gained importance in the recent past due to its effectiveness on overall quality and productivity of crops. The deficiency of micronutrients has increased worldwide due to intensive cropping pattern, extensive use of chemical fertilizers, mining of micronutrient reserves, and extensive irrigation facilities. Soil deficient in micronutrients affects plant growth and yield. To replenish micronutrients requirement at crop level, crops are applied with micronutrients according to nutrient deficiency and specific requirement. Agriculture micronutrient market growth has increased to a significant extent because of increasing global micronutrient deficiency in soil and industrialization leading to shrinkage in world's agricultural land.

Taiwan will continue to represent a modestly attractive proposition for drug manufactures. Our view is based on factors such as the maturity of its pharmaceutical market, government encouragement of generic medicines and authorities desire to reduce unnecessary use of medicines. For example, the Bureau of National Health Insurance (BNHI) in Taiwan is cracking down on prescription drugs waste by tightening its oversight of prescription drug distribution. Therefore, we envisage that main drivers of the Taiwanese pharmaceutical market development will be volume- based, thus not necessarily translating into strong value gains, especially given the pending changes to reimbursement.
