Retail tissue in Chile in 2013 was defined by two competing factors. The first was a trend towards higher-quality and more-premium products and a manufacturer strategy based on innovations to encourage value growth in an increasingly-mature category. The second was heavy discounting, especially for toilet paper, as distributors competed for sales.

We believe political upheaval in Thailand has not only further deteriorated the short-term outlook for the country's construction sector, but has also started to negatively impact the sector's longterm outlook. The ongoing political crisis in Thailand remains unresolved and looks set to intensify before a resolution can be reached. This has already resulted in fresh delays to the government's THB2trn (US $62bn) infrastructure plan and could further limit the growth potential in the entire construction sector. As such, real growth for Thailand's construction sector has been revised down to 1.9% in 2014 (previously 3.5%), while the average real growth between 2014 and 2023 has been revised down to 2.4% per annum (previously 2.8%).

Polishes recorded retail volume growth of 2% and current value growth of 32% in 2013. This discrepancy can be attributed to the fact that inflation continued to push up costs. Polishes grew faster in current value terms in 2013 than in the review period (CAGR of 23%), as Venezuelan companies had difficulty obtaining foreign currency for the import of finished goods or the raw materials required for the manufacture of products, and this is set to remain, as Cadivi gives priority to companies...

We have made a slight downgrade to our 2014 growth forecast for Tanzania, from 7.3% to 7.1%, largely on the back of underperforming exports which, coupled with strong imports of capital goods, will see net exports remain a drag on growth.

Toilet care witnessed higher levels of differentiation in 2013, with manufacturers focusing on adding extra features (forms, colours, fragrances, and "green" ingredients) to their products, while focusing on improving their antibacterial and antifungal formulations, with claims such as "kills 99.9% of germs".

Subscriber numbers in Denmark's mobile market reported a slight rise of 0.2% to 7.7mn in Q413.Operators will need to focus on migrating subscribers to higher value mobile broadband services and converged offerings with fixed-line.

BMI maintains its positive outlook on Peru's shipping and port sector. While we expect real GDP growth to level off at around 5.0% during our forecast period, below its recent trend, significant mineral wealth, attractive investment opportunities at the sector level, and a growing consumer story underpin our view that Peru will remain one of the most dynamic economies in Latin America in the coming years.

- We forecast that Singapore's consumer electronics spending will increase 6.9% in US dollar terms in 2014 to reach US$4.6bn, with the smartphone and tablet device markets continuing to be the most dynamic market segments. We expect market growth to accelerate from 2013 after a squeeze on growth from price erosion in the TV and notebook markets, as well as cannibalisation of digital camera and mp3 player volumes associated with the proliferation of multi-functional smartphone ownership. While growth is forecast to accelerate it will remain below emerging markets in APAC as Singapore has one of the highest smartphone and tablet penetration rates in the world, meaning it has passed through the period of strongest growth associated with rapidly rising penetration.

The soup category witnessed current value growth of 14% in 2013. Growth was also...

With relatively low-priced products and distribution focused on lower-tier areas, domestic manufacturers witnessed rapid growth over the review period. According to trade interviews, most players held the view that consumers of incontinence products were price-sensitive.
