Historically, bridging loans are meant to help home and business owners who wish to move from their current property to another location that they would like to purchase. These higher value, short term loans can provide people with much-needed funding that they need during these times of transition. Because bridging loans have an inherent increased risk, they are typically more expensive than conventional loans.

BMI View: Increased government focus on the agriculture sector resulted in incremental gains in the sector for the first half of 2012. Overall, the industry grew by 1.0% in H112, with the poultry segment leading the way with 5.5% growth, crops posting 1.5% growth and livestock 0.5%. With continued intervention from the Department of Agriculture through distribution of quality seeds and improving irrigation across the country, BMI believes that the grains sector will stand to benefit the most from government support going forward.

BMI View: Omani telecoms service providers are committing huge resources to the deployment of next generation fixed and mobile broadband access networks to take advantage of the growth prospect in data services in view of lower margins in the voice market. Meanwhile, the government's drive to extend mobile network coverage to underserved areas could drive subscriber growth in the medium term amid increasing saturation of telecoms services in most urban areas.

BMI View: Although the Malaysian mobile market still offers opportunities for organic growth - new MVNOs continue to enter the market, as reported in this quarter's update - network operators face considerable challenges as voice usage declines and customers prove reluctant to upgrade to postpaid services. Subscriber numbers fell in Q112 and mobile broadband usage was weaker than expected as operators tried to encourage greater voice consumption. In the background, though, non-voice service revenues are still growing, which is encouraging for those operators starting to build 4G LTE networks. That said, low-value SMS services remain a large part of non-voice revenue, so operators need to contain costs wherever possible. We therefore welcome moves by Maxis and Redtone to work together on building their next generation platform.

BMI View: Saudi consumer electronics spending will grow by about 7% in US dollar terms during 2012. In 2012, wage hikes and government largesse should continue to provide a boon for consumer electronics sales. Demand will be supported by a favourable trading environment with Saudi King Abdullah's US$93bn in handouts, including wage increases, supporting spending on big-ticket lifestyle products such as smartphones and flat-screen TV sets in 2011. Over BMI's five-year forecast period, Saudi Arabia is forecast to be one of the strongest economies in the MENA region, and the country will continue to be a lucrative market for consumer electronics.

The port of Gdansk is set to hold the top position in Poland's maritime sector in terms of both total tonnage and container throughput in 2013 after overtaking the port of Gdynia in terms of boxes handled in 2010, with both major ports expected to post annual growth.

Conditions remain fairly challenging in Latvia's insurance sector. The life sector is chronically underdeveloped - apparently because Latvians who are able to afford life insurance do not understand its benefits. In early 2012, the regulator intervened to close LKB Life, an affiliate of Latvijas Krajbanka, which had collapsed in November 2011. Although the life insurance company is able to meet its obligations to policyholders, this episode probably would not have helped public perceptions of life insurance. In fact, one of the strengths of the segment (like its counterparts in Lithuania and Estonia) is that is dominated by subsidiaries of very strong multinationals such as SEB Life & Pensions International, Swedbank Life Insurance, ERGO and Mandatum Life.

BMI View: We believe the Czech Republic's construction industry value will tentatively enter positive territory in 2013 as the European environment picks. However, we believe that caution should be exercised. Due to strained cash flow, a cap on public spending, a renewed freeze on EU funds and the repercussions of a tough financial climate, the risks are weighted to the downside. Although we expect the market to see positive growth from 2013 onwards (we forecast annual average real growth of 2.9% between 2013 and 2021), hopes of a robust recovery remain a distant possibility.

This South Africa Insurance Report considers the prospects for both life and non-life insurers in the country. The latest results published by South Africa's life companies relate to 2011 and H112 and highlight their strengths and competitive advantages in a global context. Most have benefited from at least some of the following factors: rising demand for long-term savings products from 'retail mass' customers; development of new products; realisation of benefits of long-standing programs to boost the profitability of the products that are sold, and synergies from combinations of businesses. Unlike their counterparts in other countries, they appear to have suffered relatively little from the volatility in global financial markets, which intensified through H211. In general, they are upbeat about the prospects of (much) smaller new businesses in other countries throughout Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA).

Slovenian IT spending is expected to reach US$1.0bn in 2012, with flat growth in US dollar terms, compared with 2011 as the market continues to feel the effects of the economic crisis. IT spending remains below pre-2008 levels as a result of Slovenia's worst recession in 20 years, with hardware particularly affected. Fiscal austerity measures domestically and in the eurozone will continue to weigh on demand for IT products and services. In 2011, IT services vendors reported a slightly improved situation in the Slovenian market, with increased demand, but strong price sensitivity. The fundamentals of rising incomes in a context of below EU average PC penetration mean this small IT market should advance at a mid-single digit compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the 2012-2016 forecast period. However, IT spending growth depends on business and consumer confidence in a sustained economic recovery.

The Singapore Tourism Report examines the strong long-term potential being offered by the local tourism industry, bolstered by rapidly growing demand from emerging markets such as China and Russia. However, we caution that the stellar growth rate in tourist arrivals achieved over 2010 and 2011 may moderate as we move into 2013 if fears of a double-dip global economic recession come to pass.
