Plastic films and sheets are integral parts of society today. With rising global population and disposable income, plastic films and sheets are finding increasing applications in packaging as well as in non-Packaging sector globally. In packaging, plastic films and sheets are used in food, pharmaceuticals, personal care, industrial and other applications. Food packaging is the key driver for plastic films and sheets in packaging sector. In modern days, plastic films are extensively used in flexible packaging. In non-packaging, plastic films and sheets find application in agriculture, construction, medical and health care, consumer goods, and others. Asia-pacific is the key market for plastic films and sheets with more than 30% of global market share. Rising middle class in China and India is the major driving force for the industry. However, developed regions such as North America and Europe are experiencing slow growth in the sector. However, specialty films and biodegradable films are slowly gaining in importance in such developed economies. Different materials used for the manufacture of plastic films and sheets include LDPE, LLDPE, HDPE, BOPP, CPP, BOPET, Polyamide, polystyrene, polycarbonate, EVOH, PLA and other specialty and high barrier films. PE is the most preferred material for the production of films and sheets. In agriculture, LDPE and LLDPE films are used significantly. However, in packaging applications bi-axially oriented polypropylene film is gaining market share over PE films. Global Plastic films and sheets: Market Consumption, by Type, 2012

In Q214 we are sticking with our full-year production forecasts for Belgium's steel sector. An up-tick in Belgium's economic growth in 2014 is unlikely to filter down into the country's steel sector with the industry continuing to be hit by overcapacity coupled with sluggish demand deriving, in part, from weak growth across the region's automotive sector. The country's largest producer continues to downsize its Belgium operations, in favour of channelling investment to neighbouring regions, such as France.

The economic recovery in Poland continues to gather momentum, with leading and coincident indicators - particularly retail sales and wage growth - pointing towards improvements in domestic demand in addition to the export-driven real GDP growth that arrived in the second half of 2013. The acceleration in euro area growth, particularly in key trade partners such as Germany will continue to drive forward Polish export growth. Furthermore, the recovery in international trade will continue to feed-through into the labour market, resulting in positive employment gains as hiring improves. On the back of this improving outlook, we revised up our real GDP growth estimates for 2013 to 1.4% from 1.2% previously, and raised our forecast for 2014 to 2.6% from 2.3%. Although we are optimistic about Poland's growth prospects, we are more cautious regarding metal consumption and production prospects. Key metal consuming segments such as autos and particularly construction will underperform.

Angola's mining industry is set to reach US$3.0bn in 2018, growing at an average rate of 5.3% a year. The rate of growth will remain stable thereafter, with diamonds providing the main thrust for production growth over the medium term. New areas of mining, including iron ore, copper and phosphates, are also receiving increasing international interest from investors and are expected to provide further momentum for Angola's mining sector over the long term. That said, we do not expect the mining sector to receive much attention from the government as the country's burgeoning oil sector attracts the lion's share of investment. Therefore, problems relating to mining such as poor infrastructure and stringent bureaucracy are unlikely to be resolved in the near term.

The PC market experiences strong growth that is expected to get robust in the future. This growth is due to its tremendous physical properties that make it an efficient replacement for traditional plastics and other materials.

The cooling of China's feverish growth is threatening to turn a decade-long mining boom into bust for many domestic miners. With cost containment being key in the face of falling commodity prices, Chinese miners will be forced to recalibrate their investment approach over the coming quarters. While state-owned mines are generally more insulated from the weakness in commodities prices, the Chinese government's gradual embrace of free market economics should pave the way for some much needed consolidation and restructuring in the mining industry.

A growing economy, high water demand and decreasing water supply is putting the UAE's water infrastructure under some pressure, increasing the need to invest and maintain current infrastructure to avoid a shortfall in the future. However, we note that government support is strong, and that new legislations and targets are regularly aiming to improve efficiencies as well as to encourage investment.

We forecast Canada's mining sector will see modest growth as it remains a major global player in mining investment and production. Indeed, we see the country remaining a top 10 global producer of zinc, lead, iron ore, nickel, copper, gold, silver, uranium and potash throughout our forecast period. The country's diversified mineral deposits and consistent investment make Canada a continued destination for mining firms, while its capital markets remain a top source of funding for both Canadian and foreign firms. As a sector considered key to the Canadian economy, we expect Canada's political leadership to maintain favourable tax and regulatory policies for the sector.
