One of the things I find most concerning when speaking to people outside our industry about their life insurance is their cheerful belief that some cover is better than no cover. This is purely anecdotal evidence from my own conversations with people – but it may also be one of the reasons why the often-cited 2010 insurance gap study by Asisa and True South Actuaries shows such massive underinsurance among the currently insured market.

BMI View: Singapore's telecommunications industry has outperformed many of its regional peers with strong adoption of the latest products and services. Partially due to the country's small landmass and population size, the telecoms market has rapidly grown to a stage where it is approaching saturation. Next generation technologies, both mobile and fixed, are therefore the next step in fostering new developments and revenue streams, and industry players - the regulator and operators - have rightly moved in that direction.

BMI maintains its broadly positive outlook on the Chilean shipping and port sector for Q412. We caution, however, that volume growth is expected to slow somewhat in line with our view that the Chilean economy's robust economic growth is likely to continue cooling in the coming quarters. We believe that declining exports, combined with a moderation of private consumption and gross fixed investment, will weigh on Chile's headline growth in 2012. Given the strength of the authorities' growthsupporting policy arsenal, however, we are happy to remain above consensus, forecasting real GDP growth of 4.8% in 2012.

Our outlook for the Colombian ports and shipping sector remains positive, with a backdrop of strong domestic economic growth as well as support from external demand for commodities. There are also encouraging signs of badly needed investment in transport infrastructure, both in the country's ports and in the freight transport infrastructure that feeds them, on the back of the country's developing mining sector. However, progress on such projects is often delayed, and BMI cautions that bottlenecks may remain a problem for some time.

Core Views The Russian economy continues to face enormous challenges of weakening external demand and continued uncertainty over the policy environment, which affects business sentiment. However, we continue to believe that the government will pursue a more business-friendly approach and seek to attract financing for major infrastructure projects, which should help to sustain a solid longerterm growth outlook for Russia's economy. Attention will shift away from protesters to the make-up of the new cabinet in Russia. While, initially, a period of power consolidation may ensue, we believe that efforts to insulate the economy from global oil price shocks and weaker demand will keep reforms high on the government's agenda. Growing spending requirements and plans to generate higher investment will see Russia's fiscal position slip into a moderate deficit, while the government will accumulate a higher debt pile over the coming years. However, this is unlikely substantially to unsettle investors, and we believe that higher spending will be evaluated more on its quality and degree of contribution to modernisation of the economy than on its size, with government debt not set to exceed 12.1% of GDP over our forecast period. A calming political environment and growing foreign investor interest in Russia will see the recent trend in large private-sector capital outflows gradually reverse over the coming quarters. In addition to higher oil prices and improving political stability, we view the domestic bond market liberalisation in early H212 as a crucial event, which could attract billions of US dollars in foreign capital inflows. Major Forecast Changes Our Oil & Gas team have raised our average annual Brent crude price forecast for 2012 to US$115/bbl from US$102/bbl previously. This, combined with higher private consumption and fixed investment expectations, has prompted us to upwardly revise our real GDP growth forecast for Russia in 2012 to 3.4%, from 3.2% previously. This keeps us somewhat below consensus, as we believe that weaker external demand conditions will offset the effects of higher oil prices. Key Risk To Outlook Russia's economic outlook has become more uncertain on account of the country's political reshuffle and the ongoing crisis in its main export market, Europe. Were political unrest to persist and government policy increasingly be characterised by presidential decrees and internal strife among the various power elites, this could see a continuation of major private-sector capital outflows, while preventing an increase in foreign investment in the years ahead. This would force us to reconsider our current outlook on fixed investment, which we currently see as a key driver of growth. Moreover, an escalation in the eurozone cannot be ruled out, and we note that concerns over a eurozone exit by a larger member, such as Italy or Spain, as well as a major shake-up to banking-sector stability, could have serious repercussions for Russia
