BMI View: We remain convinced that the construction sector's fortunes will improve in FY2012/13 as monetary conditions are already becoming conducive for construction. As such, we are maintaining our real growth forecasts for the construction sector at 7.2% in FY2012/13. However, the lack of willingness to carry out regulatory reforms during the FY2012/13 budget announcement is concerning for the outlook of the 12th Five-Year Plan. Therefore, we have revised down our medium-term construction forecasts, with real growth for the sector averaging 7.8% (previously 8.1%) per annum between FY2013/14- FY2016/17.

BMI View: Unlike other countries in the Middle East that have focused on encouraging pharmaceutical companies to establish manufacturing facilities, Qatar's focus is on education and research.

Two forces appear to be pulling the Malaysian freight sector in different directions this year. On the downside, the world economy remains somewhat troubled, and global demand has weakened. This means that Malaysian GDP and foreign trade growth is slowing down in 2012 compared to 2011. BMI predicts GDP growth at 3.3%, down from 5.1% last year, for example. But on the upside, the country's major ports (Port Klang and Port Tanjung Pelepas), along with land-based freight transport modes and air freight, all look like continuing to outperform relative to GDP for a variety of reasons. These include greater reliance on intra-Asian and local trade, the impact of fairly aggressive capacity expansion programmes and relative success in the management of corporate partnerships. As a result of these countervailing forces, we are holding our main projections unchanged compared to our last quarterly report.
