We believe that appetite for long-term greenfield projects is likely to remain subdued, reinforcing our bearish outlook for the country's construction industry in 2012, with a real contraction of 6% forecast.

In addition, the rising...

In 2011, the number of arrivals to Croatia exceeded the figure in 2008, which was a good year for Croatian travel and tourism. With the recession continuing to impact similar tourism destinations, such as Greece and Italy, inbound tourism to Croatia has good prospects for the future.

BMI View: Bulgaria's mobile sector contracted in Q212 in line with our view that the market is close to saturation. Although we expect positive growth over our five-year forecast period, ending 2017, we retain the view that network operators will focus more on revenue growth through high-value services in the future. We also retain a positive outlook for fixed (telephony and internet) sector, which we expect to benefit from the growing demand for converged services and the injection of much needed capital following consolidation and the arrival of new investors.

Our Africa team expects Ghana to be a major economic outperformer over the coming years on a regional and global level - a view that looks even stronger given the onset of domestic oil production. In terms of above-ground opportunities on the consumer side, Ghanaian incomes are expected to increase significantly over the next few years. The country has a solid backdrop of political stability, which is especially important in West Africa, and while the macroeconomic climate has deteriorated somewhat recently, we still see strong opportunities in Ghana's food and drink industry.
