We continue to expect Kazakhstan to enjoy robust economic growth over the coming decade, underpinned by ongoing development of the nation's vast natural resource base. The government's commitment to its ambitious economic development and diversification strategy is set to be a key driver of growth in the coming years and is likely to translate into rising potential for discretionary consumer spending. Food inflation is also not expected to be a primary driver of headline inflation, with price increases further compensated for by real wage increases in H112.

Bar soap is by far the most popular product in this category among the majority of Dominicans, who regardless of their social class and/or economic level, are in the habit of using bar soap for their personal hygiene.

The "without" trend saw a sudden eruption in the middle of the review period, supported by websites, forums and TV broadcasts, particularly from France and UK. This trend grew dramatically in 2011 and, while present in many product areas of beauty and personal care, was particularly strong in baby and child-specific products. Organic and natural products without parabens and other chemical ingredients saw strong growth due to consumers' fear of causing damage to delicate baby skin. This trend...

Core Views Having been rejected from entering NATO again, the government's focus will very likely switch back to domestic issues, with a deteriorating short-term economic outlook and elevated ethnic tensions key underlying risks. Prime Minister Nikola Gruevski's ruling party remains popular, though could lose some ground to opposition groups in local elections due early in 2013. Economic activity is set to remain weak in 2012 and only begin to recover in 2013. In the medium term we expect robust annual growth aided by the government's widespread business-friendly reforms and foreign direct investment inflows. Macedonia's relatively sound financial fundamentals - low public deficit, low public debt and a stable banking sector - are expected to insulate it from the worst of the regional crisis. Major Forecast Changes We have lowered our 2012 growth forecast to 1.4%, from 2.2% previously, as regional headwinds weigh on exports and confidence. The need for fiscal prudence will limit state support for the economy. After coming in below expectations at 2.7% of GDP in 2011, we now expect the current account deficit to increase marginally to 3.1% of GDP in 2012 and then widen more quickly as growth accelerates and demand for imports picks up. We have revised our forecast for average inflation in 2012 to 2.1%, from a previous 2.4% forecast, in line with our expectations for weaker domestic demand. Key Risks To Outlook Recent outbreaks of violence along ethnic lines are a reminder of the underlying threat to stability posed by tensions between the ethnic Albanian and Macedonian communities. Frustration over the stalled EU accession bid and economic hardship could exacerbate this tension. Though public debt remains low, it has increased dramatically in the last two years and is concentrated in external obligations, leaving the country more exposed to volatile regional markets. Domestic demand could be hit harder than expected by a major credit event in the eurozone, though the possibility of recession in Macedonia remains remote.

Furniture and furnishings stores has particularly suffered from the severe economic crisis that continues to develop in Portugal. The slump in construction of new homes and the difficulty consumers had in being able to afford to buy their own homes slowed the category. Furthermore, furniture is not an essential product, and thus consumers, who are currently more rational and careful in their expenditure, limited spending on such products.

Total volume and current value sales growth rates for air treatment products in 2011 were slower than those in 2010. This slowdown was partly due to increasing maturity, but mainly reflected the fact that summer temperatures in 2011 were lower than those recorded the previous year. Nonetheless, thanks to the housing boom and the positive performance of the Turkish economy, total volume and current value sales growth rates were still significantly stronger than the respective averages for the...
