In spite of the recovery of Ireland in 2013, depressed economic conditions in the country continued to impact negatively on outbound tourism, with consumers more focused on debt reduction and saving than ever before. In spite of the Irish government's exit from the European bailout fund, this only occurred at the end of 2013, and this meant that for the most part, 2013 was characterised by continued tightening of disposable incomes and further austerity measures by the government. While some tourists felt emboldened to take holidays domestically, the much larger expense of a longer, international holiday remained beyond the reach of a large number of Irish residents, meaning that tourism flows outbound fell somewhat.

We made a positive revision to the outlook for Indian consumer electronics spending this quarter to reflect strong growth in notebook, tablet and smartphone sales, as well as improving economic sentiment following the election of Modi's government in H114. We expect the market to remain on a strong growth trajectory over the medium term, with robust demand growth for computer hardware and handsets driving spending higher. We expect the total consumer electronics spend in India will increase by 11.7 % in US dollar terms in 2014 to USD 71.2 bn , and then reach USD92.5bn in 2018 . We expect medium term growth will be driven by rising incomes, declining device prices and the fact that 45% of India's population is under 25. S ales of smartphones are expected to be the outperforming segment of the market as first-time buyers continue to enter the market alongside the boost from consumers upgrading to smartphones.

International arrivals to Saudi Arabia increased by 11% in 2013, to reach 18 million trips. This was significant growth compared with the review period, when the number of trips witnessed a CAGR of 2%. Saudi Arabia is heavily dependent on religious tourism, as it does not have any other tourist visa, barring family visit visas and business visas. Each year, millions of pilgrims come to the country throughout the year for this purpose. 2013 saw a surge in the number of pilgrims, as the government continued its massive expansion projects at the holy mosques in Makkah, significantly expanding the capacity. This also made Makkah the city with the most arrivals in 2013. In addition, the number of hotels continued to grow in 2013 to accommodate the growing number of pilgrims, thus resulting in the stronger performance of inbound tourism.

Our outlook for Peru's agricultural sector remains positive. The livestock sector is very dynamic, and investment into the country's ethanol sector is boosting sugar production. Export crops such as coffee and cocoa are hampered by a lack of infrastructure and investment, but there is scope for strong growth in both, particularly as Peru is becoming increasingly recognised for organic and speciality crops. We caution that a lack of profitability threatens to weaken the dairy sector; this could be further exacerbated by the entry into force of the free trade agreement with the EU. The country is set to ben efit from cheaper food imports owing to the lower price of grains as well as the weakness in the Argentine peso, from where it imports a great deal of its grain.
