Our forecast is supported by low base effects and a recovery in gross fixed capital formation (GFCF). We maintain our medium-to-long term favourable view of Israel's construction market and we forecast an average growth rate of 2.3% between 2016 and 2024.

The growing availability of smartphones at a wider range of price points in Saudi Arabia, as well as the progressive reduction in the overall unit prices of these phones, fuelled demand for these phones from a wider section of the consumer base in the country, thus supporting the strong growth rate recorded by smartphones in 2014. Furthermore, internet surfing and social media are quickly becoming favoured pastimes amongst Saudis, with the contagion effect causing more and more people to take up these pastimes, and thus invest in a smartphone as a means of gaining access. Accordingly, smartphones increased by 24% in retail volume terms in 2014.

Rotterdam relies heavily on the activities of its seaport, Europe's key transportation hub. Unfortunately, even the record performance of Rotterdam port did not provide enough jobs, as over 2007-2012 the city faced decreasing household income and growing unemployment. However, Rotterdam developed an agenda to revive its economic growth, with plans to further expand its seaport, reduce its carbon emissions, and boost the city's attractiveness by renovating neglected neighbourhoods.

Ireland's beleaguered pub trade recorded further declines in 2013 as consumers continued to tightly manage disposable incomes. Despite improving employment levels and a recovering economy many people still find themselves either unwilling or unable to afford the high cost of socialising outside the home. Bars/pubs have been particularly affected in this regard with alcohol readily available through grocery retailers often selling at below-cost prices. Despite this, sales through bars/pubs represented 75% of total value within cafes/bars. Of this, independents represent a 95% value share with the Irish market highly skewed towards family owned and operated enterprises, often passed down from parent to child.

The poor economic context had very heterogeneous impact amongst the main chains of home and garden specialist retailers during 2014.

In the case of Falabella the company stopped its expansion in the interior of the country, because of the uncertainty in the economy in Argentina. In the case of Cencosud, the company believes...

We maintain a positive outlook for the Vietnamese IT market in the latest update, but we highlight increased downside risk from a tightening of domestic credit conditions into 2015 as a result of a build up of bad debt. Credit markets could cause short - term disruption but our forecast for robust medium - term growth in Vietnamese IT spending remains in place, with a forecast for a compound annual growth rate ( CAGR ) of 12.6 % between 2014 and 2018. We expect growth will be driven by rising incomes, enterprise modernisation and the policy environment put in place by the government. We also highlight larger opportunities in the retail market where penetration of devices and services remains below the level in neighbouring markets , which vendors will be able to tap as incomes rise. Meanwhile, Vietnam 's development as an outsourcing destination is a significant medium - term factor, with the services segment expected to expand rapidly. T here is also increasing momentum towards Vietnam becoming a global centre for electronics production as wages rise in China and manufacturers look to protect margins by moving to Vietnam , where wages are as little as a third of those in China.

Non-store retailing is continuing to enjoy relatively significant growth in 2014. However, it should be noted that this performance is being entirely driven by internet retailing. Moreover, the channel's rapid development has affected the performances of direct selling and homeshopping. This has led players operating in the latter channels (especially homeshopping) to also open online outlets. It should be noted that direct selling has not been affected very seriously and is continuing to register positive growth. This is primarily thanks to the channel?s more personal and direct approach.

This product is locally grown and in 2013 the production was around 2.1 million tonnes, enough to satisfy the local demand. Nevertheless, per capita consumption of rice in Peru is...

Facial recognition is a technology used for the identification of individuals. Facial recognition system measures the overall facial feature of a person such as nose, jaw edges, mouth, and the distance between eyes. Facial recognition is used for access control in restricted or high-security areas such as private and public buildings. Facial recognition is largely used in the Government, Financial, Transit, and Aviation sectors to identify and authenticate individuals. Facial recognition system is widely accepted because it is non-intrusive and can be performed from a distance of around more than two foot. Most of the facial recognition systems work without the consent of individuals. Therefore, this system does not demand an individual to stand against the camera for the scan. Rather it locates the individual face and accomplishes the process of identification against the facial data stored in the database.
