2014 was a good year for health and beauty specialist retailers in Morocco. This was mainly due to the rising demand for health and beauty products amongst women of different ages. Beneficial social development, and also the growing purchasing power of women joining the labour force in Morocco, helped them to be able to buy more beauty products, especially anti-ageing creams and sun protection, as the weather tends to always be sunny in Morocco. The launch of new retail malls all over the country also helped many key players in this category, such as Yves Rocher and Oriflame, to open new stores all over the country.

There was no change to the number of self-service cafeterias in Singapore in 2013. The size of outlets is usually bigger than typical full-service restaurants in Singapore, as they need space to display the different food serving counters/stalls, in addition to the main kitchen and seating area.

While the trend towards mobile solutions within computers continues, supporting flexibility in terms of the time and location of usage (including the possibility of using/storing computers even with limited space, in unconventional locations or as second screens), the demand for more powerful computers with stronger processors, greater storage capacity, higher resolution screens and quality graphics all support growth.

Renewable energy is defined as a source of power generation, which comes from naturally replenished resources such as hydro, wind, solar, biomass and geothermal. Renewable energy is used as an alternative source of power generation, hot water or space heating, in motor fuels as solar cells and for off-grid power generation. Since renewable energy resources are free and abundantly available in nature, the cost of power generation is less. Moreover, renewable energy mitigates carbon emission, reduces dependency on traditional hydrocarbon oil sources, and increases energy security. The importance of renewable energy sources is growing because of increased environmental concerns and rising prices of fossil fuels.

Switzerland is a country which is well-known around the world for its high quality of living and its high average income levels, even by European standards. In addition, the rising exchange value of the Swiss franc against the euro towards the end of the review period played a much more affordable for Swiss citizens to travel abroad as they now get much more for their money when spending their Swiss francs in other European countries.

Wind power is capital intensive with most of the investment required upfront. The largest capital cost component is the turbine itself which can account for between 40% and 80% of the total capital cost of an onshore wind installation. Costs offshore are higher because of the more expensive operating environment and the greater difficulty establishing a foundation so the proportion of capital cost taken by the turbine is generally lower than onshore. Turbine cost fell from 1980 until 2002 when prices started to rise again, peaking in 2009 before falling further. Technological advances and greater overall efficiency are continuing to bring costs down. This is feeding into capital cost trends which are following turbine prices by falling.

Overall power generation is forecast to decline by 2.1% in 2015 to 25.0TWh due to a fall in the generation of electricity from coal and hydropower, and a slight dip in power produced from oil and natural gas. Over the next decade, however, generation will increase by nearly 30%, mainly as a result of an expansion of nuclear power. We forecast only a minimal rise in consumption in 2015 and 2016, but an acceleration in demand in the second half of the decade, driven by a steady expansion of the manufacturing sector. By 2017, Slovakia should become a net exporter of energy. However, risks remain, such as interference in pricing by the government and the rising costs of the project to build two new reactors at the Mochovce nuclear power plant. Several major investments planned for the years ahead may experience delays or fail to materialise altogether .

Unless significant discoveries are made in the short term, 2015 will start the gradual but inexorable decline of Oman's oil reserves. The country's crude oil production levels will reach their peak in 2017, with total hydrocarbon production reaching their zenith in 2020. Incremental increases in Omani domestic consumption will be aggravated by the decreasing returns from the enhanced recovery efforts that Muscat has pursued in the last few years. BMI feels that Oman's oil industry will still provide new lucrative opportunities from the approval of additional upstream projects to new discoveries, with a specific focus on offshore being a unique area of opportunity. However, with significant decline in global oil prices that started in the latter half of 2014, smaller energy producers such as Oman will have more challenges attracting upstream investment.
