Consolidation is driving the German telecommunications market as operators strive to reinvent themselves as full converged service providers. O2 hopes to acquire E-Plus, Vodafone has gained control of Kabel Deutschland Group, and cable and broadband operators are exchanging assets that will bolster their presence in key cities. Low value voice and messaging services are being superseded by data-centric services as more consumers demand 'everything everywhere' access. Consequently, business strategies are being reforged and investment budgets geared as much towards the development of differentiated services as next-generation infrastructure. The shift of one MVNO from low-value prepaid to high-value postpaid plans conveys the story set to play out over the next five years. BMI believes the German competitive landscape is changing quickly and that many of today's players will not stay the course.

Healthy growth within the Latvian economy for a third consecutive year helped to boost real disposable incomes in 2013 and in-turn strengthened consumer purchasing power. The on-going economic revival and stability led to rising consumer confidence, which was reflected by higher private spending. Additional stimulus to grocery sales growth came from returning retailer optimism, which was reflected in an increase in new store openings, reconstructions of existing outlets and the offering of...

Pakistan continues to present major challenges to vendors, and underperform its potential due to a myriad of economic, social and political risks. However, the large population and rising incomes means there are still opportunities for vendors. Although political and security concerns remain, the economic environment is supportive of expansion, with rising incomes, consumption growth, and encouragingly, private sector credit growth as also recovered from its recent trough. The opportunity provided by the large population and economic environment has been sufficient to attract investment from multinational consumer electronics market leaders such as LG, while others have increased presence and strengthening distribution and retail channels. Nonetheless, challenges remain, including the large grey market, poor IP protection, an unstable economic and security situation, and weak distribution channels.

Following nine straight quarters of contraction, we forecast real GDP growth in Italy to reach 0.4% and 0.7% in 2014 and 2015 respectively. With one of the highest household savings rates in Europe prior to the crisis, and among the lowest private debt burdens, private consumption has not been a strong driver of GDP growth in the past decade. We do not expect this trend to change, and forecast private consumption growth of 0.3% and 0.7% in 2014 and 2015 respectively. This has negative implications for food and drink spending, although we do expect to see an improvement in this over our forecast period.

Egypt's telecoms market is poised for a new phase of competition following the award of unified telecoms licenses to the country's telecoms service providers. Fixed-line incumbent operator Telecom Egypt is keen to enter the mobile market while mobile operators Mobinil, Vodacom and Etisalat would see the concession as an opportunity to developed converged telecoms services for business and residential customers. We expect this development to attract much needed investments in fixed and mobile network development over the next few years, but caution that investors would remain mindful of the political and economic environments in the run-up to new general elections.

Real estate prices in China are wavering from historic stability and curbing measures are continuing, particularly in major cities. The overriding sentiment in the country's residential and commercial real estate market is that a slowdown is underway. Many developers are struggling with liquidity issues, and the increase of shadow banking assets in infrastructure and real estate is a significant risk to construction across all three of the real estate segments featured in this report: retail, office and industrial.

Domestic demand remains strong in Colombia and will continue to support growth in consumer electronics spending over the coming quarters. The burgeoning middle class and private sector credit growth will stimulate household consumption, and as incomes rise an increasing share of spending will go on consumer devices. This will allow vendors to tap into the relatively low penetration rates in key device categories such as PCs, smartphones and flat-panel TVs. Additionally, the government and telecoms operators are promoting the development of wireless and wireline data network infrastructure, which will add to demand for connected devices such as tablets, smartphones and smart TVs.

Egypt's huge and expanding population, together with increasing levels of disposable income, should result in a strong rise in household spending over the next few years. Consequently, the Egyptian retail sector is set to continue to grow across all subsectors. We are particularly positive about the future growth prospects for health and transport, with communications also set to grow strongly; however, we expect the highest proportion of the household budget to be spent on food & drink throughout our forecast period, with housing & utilities spending also taking a substantial share.

With the increase in the pet population and more owners looking for health and wellbeing options, pet product sales are set to continue to grow strongly in 2013. The growing demand for pet toys, dog leashes, food bowls, shampoos and pet dietary supplements and pet healthcare, boosted sales. The rising pet population and growing willingness of owners to spend more on their pets are expected to lead to a 20% increase in current value sales in 2013.

Malaysia's telecommunications sector enjoys high levels of service penetration, owing to highly focused investment in advanced broadband infrastructure and supporting services and solutions. Wireless and wireline non-voice services account for an increasingly large proportion of operators' revenues, and this is encouraging them to reinvest heavily in next-generation infrastructure, including fibre-to-the-home and 4G LTE. However, this emphasis on broadband means falling demand for traditional voice telephone services has accelerated, while operator-provided mobile voice and messaging services have come under threat from network-agnostic over-the-top (OTT) competitors. As BMI has already noted, this has hit operator financial performance. Tackling the issue will be critical for operators over the medium term.

The slow but steady recovery of the US economy caused some consumers to begin to exit their post-recessionary shell. Whilst many remained thrifty and cautious with their spending, others, who continued to see their disposable incomes grow, became more comfortable, once again relying on credit cards to help manage their big-ticket and month-to-month purchases. The gradual loosening of wallets was seen in the normalisation of debit card spending, as credit and store card spending gained momentum...

Pharmaceutical firms in India are reporting improved performance for the quarter ended December 2013. This is an early indication of a recovery in the Indian pharmaceutical industry, following the implementation of the Drug Price Control Order in May 2013. While we forecast strong growth for the sector in 2014, persisting issues such as the halting of clinical trials, low healthcare expenditure and company-specific manufacturing quality control problems will continue to pose downside risks to our outlook.

The Ukrainian real estate sector is slowly recovering from the effects of the global economic downturn, with the office and industrial sectors faring the worst, leading to high vacancy rates and low rents. Retail, on the other hand, provides more than a glimmer of hope, with the country tipped to have the fifth fastestgrowing retail market in Europe over the next few years. But, Ukraine is still battling against poor macroeconomic conditions, with bureaucracy and reports of corruption having a knock-on effect on investor interest.
