For many home and business owners, disaster preparedness means having survival food and water on hand, a first-aid kit and a fire extinguisher. Some even take the important step of preparing an evacuation plan. While these are important actions to take, many of us fail to prepare our homes and businesses to be more resistant to disasters so they sustain as little damage as possible.

Android Tablet is getting more and more popular in the market, according to the latest IDC report on worldwide tablet shipments in Q3 2012. Android shipments, led by Samsung and Amazon, surged during the quarter, at the expense of Apple, which saw its share slip notably during the quarter. Apple’s stronghold of the tablet market may not be as unbreakable as once believed, as its share fell from 65.5% to 50.4% - a quarter-on-quarter drop of 15.1%. IDC attributes this to consumers holding off for the iPad mini, but expects some of these procrastinators will choose Android tablets due to the relatively high entry price of $329 for the mini.

Present Traders founder Scott Olson announced at a press conference, "Present Trader was initially designed primarily as a way to exchange the gifts you got, for the ones you really wanted.

BMI's Spain Metals Report for Q4 2012 examines the effects of the eurozone crisis and domestic recession on the steel industry and warns that the sector will witness a protracted downturn that could permanently affect the industry's structure. The report examines how key market segments, such as the construction and automotive sectors, are affecting consumption and production and the long-term impact on the industry.

Indian IT spending is expected to reach US$20.5bn in 2012, up 14%, with government IT procurements at state and federal level helping to generate spending. Following relatively modest PC market growth in Q112, owing largely to exogenous factors, BMI expects slower growth in 2012, with IT Services in the vanguard. However, India's potentially vast IT market appears set to remain one of the region's growth opportunities owing to a growing economy and healthy consumer sentiment. Realisation of the market's long-term potential depends on raising India's low computer penetration and the government's ambitions to connect the vast rural areas to the outside world. The next layer of tier-3 and tier-4 towns, beyond the top 75 cities in India, is expected to be the major growth driver for the next few years, due to rising PC penetration.

This Egypt Retail Report examines the long-term potential of the local consumer market, but flags shortterm concerns about the economic impact of the country's budget deficit hitting record lows and monetary policy constrained by the need to avoid further capital outflows.

BMI View: Brazil's mining sector is poised for continued, though slower, growth as weaker foreign demand weighs on Brazilian exports. The country's large untapped reserves and relatively small mining sector relative to regional peers make it a compelling sector growth story and should continue to attract investment despite macroeconomic uncertainty. Iron ore production will be the key driver of mining sector investment, but we expect significant growth in several base metals as well, providing opportunities for mining companies and investors. Investments into infrastructure in advance of the 2014 FIFA World Cup and 2016 Olympics will not only help support demand for raw materials, but also enable more efficient transport of mineral resources.

Angola's mining industry is set to reach US$2.4bn in 2017, growing at an average rate of 3.6% per annum. The rate of growth will remain stable thereafter with diamonds providing the main thrust for production growth over the medium term. New areas of mining including iron ore, copper and phosphates are also receiving increasing international interest from investors and are expected to provide further momentum for Angola's mining sector over the long term.

BMI View: While we view positively Malaysia's strategy for the agriculture sector to climb the value chain in the long term, we believe that much more must be done to keep it ahead of the competition. The fact that the government may incentivise refiners to move further downstream is a good step towards this goal. The sugar industry could benefit from this trend given a government proposal to further explore the use of palm oil waste for industrial sugar. Regarding the declining cocoa sector, we believe Malaysia's goal to ramp up output is overly optimistic.

BMI View: The UAE has delivered on its stated ambitions to raise sustainable oil production capacity to 2.7-2.8mn b/d, compensating for missing Iranian barrels. Further increases are likely to materialise by year-end 2012. Meanwhile, the start of commercial oil exports through the Fujairah pipeline marks a significant new stage in the UAE's export capabilities.

Core Views We are no longer confident that a military conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia over the breakaway Nagorno-Karabakh region can be averted, as the number of violent clashes continues to mount at a time of intensifying diplomatic confrontation. We no longer consider the unresolved standoff to be a 'frozen conflict' and have therefore downgraded both Azerbaijan's and Armenia's 'security/external threats' profile in our short-term political risk ratings. Armenia's economy is entering a less certain environment and despite our near-term upward revision to real GDP growth, the economy is beginning to face considerable headwinds over a medium-term time horizon. Challenges are stemming from a potential drying up of multilateral funding in the event of further escalation in the eurozone sovereign debt crisis, as well as the risk of a more pronounced slowdown in economic growth in Russia, as commodity prices ? particularly of oil ? remain highly exposed to global investor risk aversion and falling demand in developed markets. Georgia's ruling United National Movement party of President Mikhail Saakashvili remains the favourite to win in October's parliamentary election and secure another majority. Although the new opposition movement Georgian Dream remains a credible threat to the ruling party, we believe that the appointment of the former interior minister as prime minister and a shift in strategy in dealing with the opposition should improve the government's chances of retaining control of the legislature. Major Forecast Changes We have raised our 2012 real GDP growth forecast for Armenia to 4.3% from 2.1% previously, on account of signs of a more robust household sector, as well as a slight increase to our previous exports of goods and services growth projection. Key Risk To Outlook While a deteriorating global economic environment threatens to weigh heavily on exports as well as fixed investment and household consumption levels to a greater extent than we are currently factoring into our already subdued forecasts for Armenia, the single-biggest downside risk to our outlook is the prospect of a war between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We believe that near-term risks to our outlook for Georgia's economy are currently skewed to the upside, as ongoing monetary easing and signs of robust activity in the manufacturing and wholesale and retail trade sector could see another quarter or two of strong growth. We would await the release of a breakdown of GDP by categories of use (ie expenditure) before we would consider making adjustments to our 2012 real growth forecasts. Executive Summary Business

Partido Revolucionario Institucional (PRI) candidate Enrique Pena Nieto's electoral victory in the July 2012 general election will install the new president-elect in office in December 2012, by which point the total number of homicides in Mexico is likely to pass the 100,000 mark. Official figures peg the total number of killings at 99,632 between 2007 and 2011, with drug-related violence driving the vast majority of homicides. This morbid milestone will intensify scrutiny of Pena Nieto's plans to tackle Mexico's ongoing plague of drug-related violence.

Things are looking up for the Bahraini shipping sector. The Khalifa bin Salman Port (KBSP) is seeing volumes rise on the back of the massive hike in demand at Saudi Arabian ports. The consumer demand story also bodes well for domestic demand over the medium term, while the Port of Mina Salman could see tonnage volumes rise due to a house-building programme underway in the Kingdom.

BMI View: Abu Dhabi did not let water policy drift over the traditionally quiet summer months, and the confirmation of the plans for a new independent water and power project (IWPP) at Mirfa is a tonic for the sector and for international developers looking for project opportunities in the UAE. It remains to be seen what approach Dubai will adopt over our five-year forecast period; the emirate's economy is starting to revive after a troubled three years, following the Dubai World debt crisis. Water demand should start to regain its historic trend, and the emirate's authorities will need to find a solution to how it wants to finance the necessary investment.

BMI View: The construction and infrastructure industry in Yemen struggles onward with both political and economic difficulties on the horizon. We forecast that the sector will post a year-on-year (y-o-y) contraction of 4.6% for 2012, taking the industry value to US$1.7bn. Growth is set to return over our 10- year forecast period, with industry value expected to rise to US$5.7bn by 2021.

BMI View: We believe that Vietinbank's successful debt issue could pave the way for more issuances by other Vietnamese commercial banks over the coming years. Our assessment suggests that a relatively high degree of leverage, which could amplify the risk of default, explains the 329 basis points premium on the bank's bonds over sovereign bonds. However, we believe that concerns over a future default by CTG are largely unjustified, presenting an attractive opportunity for investors. The Vietnam Commercial Bank for Industry and Trade (CTG), also known as Vietinbank, has successfully issued US$250mn worth of US dollar-denominated debt in the international market, with an annual coupon rate of 8.25% maturing in 2017. Judging from the positive response by foreign investors in taking up the first international debt issue by a Vietnamese financial institution, we believe that this could pave the way for more issuances by other Vietnamese commercial banks over the coming years. Improving Macroeconomic Fundamentals Given that recent economic data coming from Vietnam is beginning to reflect our core view of a turning point in the country's macroeconomic fundamentals, we believe that the Vietnamese debt market will become increasingly attractive to foreign investors. Despite our bullish outlook on the economy, which suggests that CTG's bonds presents a compelling opportunity for investors, we still believe that it is Vietnam Commercial Banking Report Q3 2012 © Business Monitor International Ltd Page 34 worthwhile to assess the underlying risks associated with CTG's latest debt issue. Furthermore, our conviction that the State Bank of Vietnam (SBV) will introduce another 200 basis points (bps) worth of rate cuts by the end of the year, although this has largely been priced into bond yields, should generally be positive for fixed-income assets. From a bondholder's perspective, the risk of a potential default is the sole reason associated with the 329 basis points (bps) premium that CTG's newly issued bonds is currently yielding over its most comparable Vietnamese government US dollar bond (at the time of writing, CTG's bonds were yielding 8.69%, compared to 5.40% on sovereign bonds). Indeed, the mismanagement of state-owned enterprise (SOE) Vietnam Shipbuilding Industry Group, which almost brought the company to the brink of bankruptcy in 2010, has severely undermined investors' confidence. Not surprisingly, rating agency Moody's Investors Service has assigned a B1 long-term rating on CTG's debt, categorising the issue as 'speculative' and 'subject to high credit risk' while Standard and Poor's has assigned a B+ rating, implying 'significant speculative characteristics'.
