2.8% GDP Growth Expected This Year

Aerolineas Argentinas closed the 2013 fiscal year with a deficit of US$247 million - 44% lower than the 2012 deficit of US$447. According to Mr Mariano Recalde, Aerolineas Argentina's President, the number of passengers carried, flight hours and incomes increased in 2013. Despite this improvement of the company's economic situation in January 2014, the Federal Government accelerated the devaluation of the Peso to 30% (from ARS6 to ARS8 per dollar) - a development which is expected to negatively impact Aerolineas' results in the short term due to increasing fuel oil, aircraft leasing and labour costs. As of February 2014, it was not yet clear if the Peso devaluation would positively impact incoming tourism flows and thus help the nationalised airline face its increasing costs because the Federal Government did not have any plan to control high inflation, which would erase any benefits associated with the Peso devaluation in the short term.

Latest GDP figures show that the Vietnamese economy grew by 5.0% year-on-year (y-o-y) in Q1 2014, and we believe that our 2014 real GDP growth forecast of 5.9% remains in sight. Indeed, we believe that increased macroeconomic stability, combined with pro-growth policies will help the economy accelerate from 2013 levels, which will be welcome news for the country's shipping sector. Key downside risks to this view include a faster-than-anticipated slowdown in China, as well as the stalling of the country's reform drive.

BMI maintains its cautious outlook for the Argentine freight transport sector. A more drastic slowdown than we previously expected in various high frequency indicators have led us to revise down our forecast for Argentine real private consumption and gross fixed capital formation growth in 2014. As a result, our real GDP growth forecast is 0.4% in 2014, a downward revision from our earlier forecast of 1.2%, as the impacts of the January currency devaluation weigh on private consumption and fixed investment to a greater extent than we had originally factored in. This forecast implies an even greater slowdown from 3.0% real GDP growth in 2013. The main driver of the slowdown is the impact of the country's January 23 currency devaluation, which sent inflation expectations soaring. As a result consumer confidence has plunged.
