North Africa Telecommunications Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of North Africa Telecommunications Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Other than in Libya, which continues to feel the effects of the 2011 civil war, there is strong competition in North Africa's mobile markets. While there remains growth potential across North Africa's mobile markets, BMI believes increased liberalisation, in some cases, and investment in fixed and mobile broadband markets will drive growth in that segment. Morocco's regulator plans to impose fixed infrastructure sharing regulation, Algerie Tlcom has announced plans to launch fixed wireless 4G LTE in H114 to compete with mobile operators' 3G services and Tunisie Tlcom awarded Alcatel-Lucent a contract to improve access speeds over its copper cable network. Meanwhile, Libya recruited the ITU's help to build up its ICT sector, including setting up a regulatory framework, which may speed up the licensing process for a planned third operator. With most markets set to reach mobile saturation within our forecast period, BMI believes the broadband market will provide important long term opportunities for subscriptions and revenue growth. Key Data ? Strong subscriptions growth continued in Q413 and we estimate Algeria's mobile market reached 39.3mn subscriptions by the end of the year. We forecast this to rise to 44.3mn by 2018. 3G growth will be fairly limited in 2014, as licences were only offered at the end of 2013. ? We revised our data for Tunisia to reflect data from the regulator, INT. The mobile market reached 12.712mn subscriptions in 2013, which we forecast to rise to 13.3mn by 2018.

Japan Agribusiness Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Japan Agribusiness Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Since announcing the scrapping of the four-decade long 'gentan' subsidy programme for rice farmers, we are increasingly optimistic that the shift from protecting the Japanese agriculture industry at all costs to a more open and competitive one is happening sooner than we had anticipated. In particular for the rice sector, this new policy should lead to more industry consolidation and reap economies of scale in the longer term. While this should invigorate the ailing industry, we still view the hold on the 300 over percent in import tariff as a barrier to a true liberalising of the sector. Key Forecasts ? Rice production growth to 2017/18: 0.3% on the 2013 level to 9.0mn tonnes. The gradual consolidation of the industry should increase economies of scale and output of the industry. ? Beef production growth to 2017/18: 0.6% on the 2013 level to 507,800 tonnes. Production of beef should grow alongside increased wages.

Indonesia Real Estate Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Indonesia Real Estate Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering We believe a large, youthful and growing population and a strong economic trajectory give Indonesia's real estate sector strong fundamentals which bode exceptionally well over the long term. However, there are a number of short-term risks which will subdue yield growth over the coming quarters. Increased interest rates to combat wider economic issues will see borrowing costs increases, subsequently subduing consumer demand in the retail sector. Additionally, office and factory expansion plans under consideration will increasingly put on hold as the increased costs make projects more expensive for companies to execute. Given the external risks to Indonesia's economy, although not as pertinent as some of it regional peers; we expect that rents will remain broadly neutral as landlords fear increasing rents may drive out businesses. We do, however, see opportunities for investors in new property, who may capitalise on lower prices, especially in the government's special economic zones. Indonesia's real estate potential growth areas are driven by increasing activity on the part of international investors, favourable fundamentals and the potential of the archipelago's consumption-driven economy, alongside corporate growth strategies looking to both domestic and international channels for growth.

Greece Renewables Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Greece Renewables Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering The 'New Deal' for the Greek renewables sector was voted into law in April marking the largest shake-up in the sector in Greece to date. Losses across the board for all producers are meant to eliminate the deficit of the operator of the electricity market, LAGIE, which in November 2013 reached EUR576mn. We maintain our forecasts for wind, and expect an increase from 2015 onwards, although the capacity that has already flooded the Greek market should discourage a renewed influx of capacity, especially at lower FiTs. We have, however, revised up our medium-term generation and capacity forecasts for non-hydropower renewables, due to a larger-than-expected project pipeline. According to data from LAGIE the only time when there was a slowdown in applications was in March 2014 during the height of uncertainty ahead of the final New Deal legislation. Data from LAGIE show there are solar projects totalling over 4,000MW in various stages of development, an increase from the 3,700MW reported in September 2012, leading us to revise up our average generation growth forecasts from 3.7% to 11.0% between 2013 and 2017.

Greece Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Greece Pharmaceuticals and Healthcare Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Despite the Greek economy's expected return to growth in 2014, we expect no lessening in the pressures on the Greek pharmaceutical and healthcare sectors over the medium- to long term. Further discussions with country's troika of lenders clearly indicate that more cuts to spending are on the horizon. With the government continuing to target the pharmaceutical and healthcare sector for cost savings, and against a backdrop of considerable market decline, generic drugs will present the only growth opportunity for drugmakers over the medium term. Headline Expenditure Projections ? Pharmaceuticals: EUR5.64bn (US$7.45bn) in 2013 to EUR5.27bn (US$6.70bn) in 2014; -6.6% in local currency terms and -10.1% in US dollar terms. Forecast downwardly revised from previous quarter. ? Healthcare: EUR13.42bn (US$17.71bn) in 2013 to EUR11.86bn (US$15.06bn) in 2014; -11.6% in local currency terms and -15.0% in US dollar terms. Forecast downgraded from previous quarter as a result of further cost-containment measures.

Gabon Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Gabon Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Interest in West Africa's deepwater potential remains strong, underscored by Total's recent subsalt discovery and the recent award of a number of offshore blocks to an impressive roster of companies. Although the uptick in exploration activity offshore Gabon is encouraging, the country's business environment remains a serious concern with the potential to slow or deter the rebound in interest. Notwithstanding the upside, we retain our view that oil production in Gabon is set to plateau from middecade and gradually decline. The start of some small new fields or redevelopment will fail to offset falling volumes from mature fields elsewhere. The main trends and developments we highlight for Gabon's oil and gas sector are as follows: ? While we expect some near-term gains in oil production, the long-term trend for Gabon's oil production is for decline as production falls from mature fields and fails to be offset by new volumes. We expect output to average around 248,000 barrels per day (b/d) in 2014. While at present, we see more downside than upside risk to these figures, we note that a series of recent discoveries in Gabon's deepwater and increasingly in sub-salt acreage underscore the untapped potential of the country despite its status a mature producer.

France Infrastructure Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of France Infrastructure Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering After six years of consecutive negative growth, we expect the French construction industry to return to low, but positive growth in 2014, as our 0.5% forecast indicates. Our fundamental view remains unchanged, as we believe that while the worst is over for the industry, a strong rebound is off the cards. Our view aligns with our Country Risk forecast for economic growth which expects a moderate recovery of 0.7% real GDP growth in 2014. We expect transport infrastructure projects to lead this timid recovery over the next decade, with more sustainable growth necessitating a wide range of structural reforms. Our slight optimism for the French construction industry comes on the back of growth in the infrastructure industry, which we expect to outperform the overall construction sector. Buoyed by growth in the transport segment, we expect the share of infrastructure in the total value of the construction industry to increase from an 18.1% in 2014 to nearly 20% by 2023. This will lead to average annual real growth of 1.9% in the construction sector over the period.

Egypt Insurance Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Egypt Insurance Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering As of early 2014, political developments continue to dominate the newsflow from Egypt. If past experience is any guide, they will have little impact on an insurance sector that could reasonably be described as being resilient - but far from dynamic. Stability, at a low level, has been the key feature of nonlife penetration for years. Life density has continued to rise over the last two years - in spite of the Arab Spring - but also remains at levels that are miniscule by most standards. The government-directed reform and restructuring of state-owned giant Misr Insurance Holdings and, indeed, the entire sector, has delivered some benefits. However, the limitations of, and challenges facing, that company continue to constrain the development of insurance in Egypt. BMI's new insurance report format provides forecasts of the life and non-life markets, including gross and net premiums, reinsurance premiums and assets. Moreover, it provides forecasts for key growth drivers such as vehicle fleet size, demographic factors and private health expenditure. The report also contains a comprehensive breakdown of the non-life insurance market, providing forecasts for motor and transport insurance, property, personal accident, health, general liability and credit insurance. Finally, the new report offers a detailed breakdown of the life and non-life competitive landscapes, covering the top companies present in each segment by premiums and market share.

Egypt Food and Drink Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Egypt Food and Drink Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Despite the relative near-term weakness of its food and drink market on account of the wider political and economic situation, Egypt's core demographics continue to offer encouraging prospects for the world's major fast-moving consumer goods companies. Egypt is also arguably the cultural hub of the Arab world and doubles as an excellent gateway to the wider North African and Sub-Saharan African regions. We believe that no other country in the Arab world can match Egypt's long-term potential, which is why many of the world's largest consumer companies will very likely be increasing, rather than cutting back, their investment in the country. Our country risk team holds a moderately bullish view on the Egyptian economy and its consumer, mainly predicated on the expectation for continued improvements in political stability as well as the impact of low base effects. Our baseline scenario sees the economy expanding 2.7% in FY2014 and 4.2% in FY2015 (fiscal year running from July-June), up from 1.9% in FY2013.

China Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of China Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering While China is increasingly dependent on energy imports - particularly gas - owing to rapid growth in its energy demand, there are considerable investment opportunities in its upstream segment. Concerted efforts by the government to improve the economics of gas production and conditions for private investment have allowed for some opening for greater private and foreign involvement. However, expansion opportunities in the downstream look to be increasingly limited as the government restricts new short-term investments to battle both the problems of a potential overcapacity in the market, and the country's environmental problems. The main trends and developments we highlight for China's oil and gas sector are: ? Much of the China's crude oil production upside will come from increased output from fields yet to reach peak capacity, such as Tarim and Changqing. Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) measures will also help to maintain production levels at older fields, such as PetroChina's Daqing and Sinopec's Shengli. We expect Chinese production (less refining gains) to rise over the next few years, peaking at 4.40mn barrels per day (b/d) in 2017 before declining to 4.24mn b/d by 2023.

Central America Agribusiness Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Central America Agribusiness Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering The region is still struggling with disease outbreaks in the coffee sector in 2013/14. We believe the region will continue to suffer as low global coffee prices limit investment potential. Even if prices have rebounded recently, we believe they are overstretched and see them going back towards the USc140-150/lb level in the near term. Central America is generally dependent on imports for corn, and we expect the production deficit to widen over our forecast period. That said, Central America is expected to remain selfsufficient in sugar and even increase its potential for sugar exports. The sugar industry has the potential to attract investment over the medium term. ? Coffee production growth to 2017/18: 10.9% to 14.9mn bags. We believe the coffee sector will continue to battle with disease and weather problems, while low global prices will limit investment in the crop, at least in the coming years. We see more potential for the sector in the long term. ? Corn consumption growth to 2018: 11.1% to 6.8mn tonnes. Demand growth for corn will far outpace production in Central America, affecting prices and keeping the area import-dependent for its grain needs.

Cameroon Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014

LogoReportstack, provider of premium market research reports announces the addition of Cameroon Oil and Gas Report Q2 2014 market report to its offering Cameroon is on the cusp of a significant, but possibly temporary, upswing in production led primarily by a big increase in gas. Yet it is still a country that is overlooked because the top line numbers - declining oil production, flat gas reserves and low risk and reward ratings - tend to mean investors look for greener pastures. However, mid-rank independents are having some success and the offshore has had some encouraging exploration results since 2012. We forecast production of 79,900 barrels per day (b/d) in crude in 2014, representing a gain of nearly 30% over 2013. However, peak oil is just six years away in 2020, and then the decline sets in. The gas picture is also encouraging. New projects coming on stream in 2014 will boost gas volumes 40% to 0.7bn cubic metres (bcm). Then a string of previous discoveries becoming monetised in 2015 and 2016 will mean natural gas production will soar to 2.8bcm by 2016 and keep climbing through the next decade. The cautionary note is a shortage of other discoveries in inventory to maintain momentum and replace depleting reserves. However GDF Suez is bullish on an LNG export terminal by the end of the decade and that may pique upstream interest. Here are the highlights of Cameroon's Upstream and Midstream: Oil: We forecast crude oil production will rise in 2014 to 79,000 barrels per day (b/d), just shy of the projected 82,000b/d projected by Cameroon's national oil company (NOC) SNH. The 25% jump in production from 2013 to 2014 is attributable to the start of production from the Myia onshore field located in the Douala-Kribi-Campo basin, which began in November 2013 according to SNH officials.
