We expect strong food consumption growth in Belarus (in roubles) to continue over our forecast period to 2018. However, this expansion will not be driven by increased economic activity, with real GDP growth (in US dollar terms) forecast to contract by 0.1% in 2014 and 0.7% in 2015. We consider Belarus a risky market due to its political isolation from much of Europe and high level of government intervention in economic matters. High levels of inflation are a further concern, particularly for consumer goods sectors.

All four of the leading mobile operators in Brazil have reported a positive response to the launch of 4G LTE services since H113, boosting subscriber growth to 1.310mn by the end of the year. This has come at the right time for the mobile market, which has seen growth slow down considerably, as it reaches a saturation point. Opportunities for revenue growth will come from the value-added services such as M2M and m-commerce as the market matures beyond a prepaid centric environment of subscription acquisition maximisation . In the broadband market, Anatel has been active in trying to enhance competition, reducing licence fees for operators wishing to provide multiple services and the potential entrance of VTR ( Liberty Global ) is reportedly due in Q214.

Various Chinese elements, Chinese ink-wash painting on the packaging for example, are incorporated into the packaging of beauty and personal care products to woo local consumers, while the design of closures can also cater to consumers' changing needs. To address the needs of time-pressed consumers, self-foaming closures are applied for face cleansers and liquid hand soap, which prolongs the use of such products and is therefore well received among consumers.

The worsening financial situation of households affected producers in terms of lower sales. As a consequence, there was less activity in terms of the introduction of packaging novelties. Significant projects aimed at changing packaging were suspended and new concepts were not developed. Companies tended to implement new products without spending on investment in new packaging; thus bath and shower, men's toiletries or hair care were basically characterised by the offering of standard rigid plastic bottles provided with simple closures. This type of packaging and closure are less costly, which translates into money saving in production processes. Market potential for cheap and simply shaped closures is dynamically driving rising demand for private label products. As packaging has an essential share in the final price, discounters, supermarkets and hypermarkets are focused on the lowest costs. In 2012, the cheapest closures - plastic screw closures and plastic dispensing closures - showed the fastest growth in actual terms.
