BMI View: Despite a downward revision to our overall assessment of the size of Latvia's pharmaceutical market, we remain cautiously optimistic about the development of the market and our historic revisions have not had an overly significant impact on our growth projections over our five- and 10-year forecast periods. We have maintained our growth rate for 2012 of 4.0% in local currency terms, but we warn this is equivalent to a 5.2% contraction in US dollar terms. High out-of-pocket contributions to healthcare remain the key source of spending on medicines. We envisage further tightening of government budgets, in line with the commitment to fiscal austerity and joining the euro.

Banking Sector Growth To Cool In 2012 BMI View: We maintain a relatively constructive outlook for Colombia's banking sector in 2012. Though loan growth will slow, partly due to rising interest rates, we expect strong demand for bank services and a robust regulatory framework will ensure the sector expands at a sustainable pace this year. Colombia's banking sector looks poised to maintain a solid growth trajectory in 2012, driven by three key factors. ???? Relatively low banking sector penetration combined with rising incomes points to strong growth potential in 2012 and beyond. ???? Though rising interest rates will ensure more moderate loan growth in 2012, strong investment prospects and a robust consumer story should keep credit flowing. ???? Rising deposits and a solid capital base will continue to ensure Colombia's banking sector is relatively well prepared for any deterioration in macroeconomic conditions. Growth Potential Remains Robust Although total banking sector assets in Colombia increased substantially last year, banking sector penetration remains relatively modest compared to its regional peers, supporting our view that the sector's growth potential remains massive. Assets-to-GDP came in at 53.6% in January, up significantly from 49.4% in January 2011, but still considerably lower than in Brazil (131.9%) and Chile (111.0%). Relatively low penetration, combined with a strong growth outlook for the economy - we forecast real GDP growth of 4.7% in 2012 and 4.4% in 2013 - underpins our view that rising demand for bank services will drive continued expansion in the coming years, though at a slower pace than in 2011. This moderation is in line with our forecast for total assets to rise by 12.0% this year and 11.0% in 2013 (down from 21.2% in 2011), and will mark a move back to a more sustainable growth trajectory for the sector, implying the potential for a credit bubble to develop remains relatively low. Loan Growth To Moderate We maintain our view that credit growth will cool in the coming years, in line with our forecast for loan growth to average 16.0% in 2012 and 11.0% in 2013, down from 24.0% in 2011. Strong base effects and the continuation of the central bank's hiking cycle in Q112 - the authorities have hiked the benchmark rate by 50 basis points (bps) since January to 5.25% - supports our view for a moderation in credit growth. That said, we believe a number of factors, including a relatively constructive macroeconomic outlook for Colombia, will ensure credit keeps flowing over the coming quarters. Indeed, the country's strong investment prospects, stemming from the oil and gas and infrastructure sectors in particular, as well as a robust consumer story will be supportive of credit growth over the coming quarters. In addition, non-performing loans (NPLs) remained low at 2.7% in January, having come down substantially since 2010, and stabilizing around pre-crisis levels. Our forecast for unemployment to come in at 9.0% by year-en

The Iranian non-life insurance segment was strongly influenced by rising levels of GDP growth and an increase in the motor insurance category, driven by the rising number of road accidents. Growth in the property, automobile and industrial sectors is anticipated to drive the growth of the segment over the forecast period. Motor insurance accounted for the largest market share of the non-life insurance segment in 2011 and is expected to continue its domination over the forecast period.

The search for innovative card products has been a major focus in the past decade. However, the importance of customer retention for credit card issuers has grown in the wake of the global economic slowdown. The switch towards debit and cash spending in mature markets, the emergence of a range of new payment channels, increase in legislation and the continuing trend for customers to reduce consumption all present significant obstacles to the credit card industry. Credit card issuers in the US took drastic measures during the recession, such as making it harder for consumers to compare credit card offers online and more expensive to transfer balances to other providers. Issuers also cut back their cooperation with comparison sites and raised fees for balance transfers. While such actions were stop-gap measures, and not necessarily indicative of mature retention strategies, they do attest to the increasing importance being placed on card retention in today's economic climate.

During the review period, the Iranian reinsurance segment was dominated by Bimeh Markazi Iran (Central Insurance of Iran), the single state-regulated reinsurer which was established to regulate, expand and guide the overall insurance industry. Furthermore, the regulatory framework of the country, which made compulsory cession of the life, non-life and personal accident and health insurance segments, drove the growth of the reinsurance segment during the review period. Moreover, the growth of all three of the segments is expected to advance the growth of reinsurance over the forecast period.
