The South African construction industry increased in value at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.54% during the review period (2007-2011). This was supported by the 2010 FIFA World Cup, which acted as a catalyst to the growing South African construction industry. The infrastructure market was the largest beneficiary of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, as most construction activity involved road, public transport and other infrastructure-related developments. Over the forecast period (2012-2016), the industry is expected to register a CAGR of 9.61%, as against the review-period CAGR of 15.54%, due to the continuing euro-zone crisis which is dampening global business sentiment.

BMI projects Brazil consumer electronics spending will grow by about 14% in US dollar terms in 2012 to US$37.0bn. Consumer electronics retailers reported strong growth in 2011 as shipments of notebooks and flat-screen TV sets surged and smartphone sales reported triple-digit growth. We expect tax cuts, aimed at durable goods such as PCs and TV sets, to further support consumption over the coming quarters. Our forecast for relatively strong consumption has also been reinforced by signs of rising demand since the beginning of 2012. January's retail sales reading surprised to the upside, coming in at 7.3% year-on-year (y-o-y), indicating that Brazil's consumer is picking up steam as fiscal and monetary stimulus feed through the economy.

The UAE Tourism Report considers the recent performance of the tourism sector and assesses its longterm prospects. For the UAE as a whole, the tourism sector had another good year in 2011, although annual growth in foreign tourists slowed slightly to an estimated 9%. The already burgeoning tourism sector appears to have benefited from the Arab Spring, with tourists attracted away from other locations in the region. Given the ongoing instability, there is potential for the industry to benefit further in this regard.

BMI View: Given Romania's long history of oil/gas reserves and production, it would be surprising if renewed exploration efforts do not prove-up fresh resources and extend the life and scale of existing domestic supply. However, Romania needs to enlist more help, quickly, in order to avoid increased exposure to energy import dependency. Further, the likely moratorium on shale gas exploration is likely to slow progress and dampen foreign partner enthusiasm.

BMI View: Increased cultivation, an improving macroeconomic outlook, access to export markets and investments into enhancing the productivity of domestic mills are the key factors behind our highly optimistic outlook for sugar production in Mozambique. While these factors will also have an effect on production and consumption growth in the livestock and grains segments, we highlight that growth in these sectors remains highly vulnerable to external factors. Weather-related hazards such as flooding and drought pose serious downside risks to grains production, and the recurring problem of pests and diseases threatens the livestock sector. Nevertheless, we believe that government support and incentives could be the biggest encouragement for growth in these sectors.
