BMI View: Well Positioned To Weather Economic Storm As we head into the final quarter of 2012, the largest obstacle looming on the horizon for South Korea's freight industry remains the predicted slowdown in China - Seoul's main export partner by far. Hot on the heels of last August's dismal flash HSBC purchasing managers' index print of 47.8, BMI points to yet another leading indicator, this time from the government itself, which supports our view that China's economy will remain on a deceleratory path in the coming quarters. Meanwhile, demand for electronics in particular has fallen this year and therefore has had a detrimental effect on South Korean exports.

Staying ahead in today's challenging business environment requires an established infrastructure for maintaining internal processes as well as external relationships with stakeholders. IT infrastructure plays a crucial role in most of the organizational operations for ensuring business continuity, which also demands huge capital expenses, time and resources of the company. Managed Network Solutions & Network Outsourcing will help organizations to focus on their core businesses, rather than their networks. These solutions enable corporations and businesses to offload specific IT operations to the service provider, unlike in traditional outsourcing, where the entire control is transferred. These managed network services provide the opportunity to retain selected IT functions to be run in-house, thereby maintaining control and full visibility of the IT assets. This provides various benefits such as complete transparency, cost reduction, less downtime & risk, increase efficiency and also fosters IT planning & documentation. Managed Network and Network Outsourcing has emerged as a key area under managed services & technology outsourcing. The market is abuzz with several telecommunication providers, networking companies and start ups in this segment, making this a multi-billion dollar industry.

We have become ever more bearish on the French automotive industry. Passenger car sales declined 18.3% y-o-y in September, to 136,900 units. Over the first nine months of the year, sales in this segment declined 13.9% y-o-y, to 1,430,884 units. BMI forecasts a 12% decrease in passenger car sales in 2012.

BMI's decision not to follow the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAM), which revised its forecast for passenger car sales upwards earlier in the year, has paid off, as the market declined 0.3% in September, marking the first decline since January. Tensions with Japan have seen Japanese carmakers reporting massive declines in sales, although other brands such as Hyundai Motor and Kia Motors have been on hand to capitalise. The effects on the overall market are still evident, however, and we stand by our full-year forecast for 8% total vehicle sales growth, compared with CAAM's revision to 11%.
