BMI View: The impressive performance of Pakistan across the key commodities of cotton, rice and corn, all of which are grown with the export market in mind, compared with the relative under performance of wheat and sugar, the production of which is largely absorbed by domestic consumption, suggests that agribusiness in the country does best when responding to international markets.

The Croatia Tourism Report looks at the sector's recent performance and considers the long-term potential of the industry. After a recovery in 2010, foreign tourist arrivals grew by a solid 9.0% in 2011, while domestic tourism picked up but remained relatively weak. This year, BMI continues to expect a sharp slowdown in the growth of visitor arrivals, unchanged at less than 3%, given the bleak outlook for the eurozone, which is the country's key source region.

Germany's economic outlook remains clouded by the continued risk of a eurozone break-up scenario, which would lead to an immediate collapse in fixed investment and hit external demand for German exports very hard. Indeed, we note that our latest economic growth projections for Germany show that we do not see a meaningful economic rebalancing process towards higher household consumption (and away from export-led growth) taking shape in Germany over the medium term. This will prevent a more rapid rise in final household consumption expenditure, while leaving the economy highly vulnerable to the very weak growth trajectory for the wider eurozone economy over the coming 10 years.

BMI's Czech Republic Tourism Report examines the recent performance of the tourism sector and looks at its potential over the period to 2016. Final data for 2011 record annual growth of almost 8% in foreign visitor arrivals in the hospitality sector (although this could be revised down). This represents a good pick-up in foreign tourism following a recovery in 2010. BMI expects a slowdown in the growth of visitor arrivals this year although, based on recent data, not as sharp as previously anticipated. The forecasts are largely based on a grim outlook for the eurozone, which is the key source region.

Consumer food service growth was slightly slower in 2011. Full-service restaurants in particular suffered from the weak global economy, with the majority of consumers turning to cheaper consumer food service options such as fast food and street stalls/kiosks to save money. Fast food companies also began adopting a fast casual business concept - a development which increased competition for full-service restaurants in the Philippines. The movement towards budget and value meals further reduced...

Significant rises in tobacco excise rates increased tobacco product prices and created resentment amongst producers and consumers in 2011. Rapidly increasing tobacco products prices have become part of everyday life for Estonian consumers. Manufacturers try to highlight the problem in order to convince the government to deal with illicit trade and thus help them boost their tax intake. Producers claim that increasing excise taxes basically means further tax for honest consumers. Furthermore,...

The concept of 100% home delivery/takeaway was not present in Finland at the end of the review period. Most Finnish consumers are unwilling to pay an extra premium for home delivery.

2011 witnessed an increase in sales of branded eggs, particularly in organised retail chains such as Star Bazaar, Hypercity, More and Reliance Fresh. Companies like Suguna Poultry Farm Ltd, Godrej Agrovet and Venkateshwara Hatcheries increased their presence in these supermarkets, with their branded eggs offering greater nutritional value and differing prices. Suguna Poultry, one of the leading branded egg suppliers, launched premium quality value-added eggs in four categories, namely Active,...

Real GDP growth in France has now stuttered to a halt against an uncertain global macroeconomic backdrop. We therefore maintain our forecast for the country's real GDP to contract by 0.2% in 2012, before growing by just 0.9% in 2013. French household consumption is expected to remain extremely weak throughout the course of 2012, primarily due to concerns over employment and housing.

BMI View: Figures for power consumption provide further evidence of an improved macroeconomic trajectory in Turkey. Though not out of the woods yet, the Turkish economy seems to have turned a corner, owing primarily to more welcoming external climate and monetary policy. This picture reinforces our view that Turkey will continue to outperform power markets in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) and prompted us to revise our forecasts for electricity consumption, with real year-on-year (y-o-y) growth of 7.9% forecast for 2012. However, we highlight that the lack of clarity in regards to the country's future electricity mix and the high cost of credit could present pertinent risks to the country's capacity expansion plans.
