The future of the country's power sector is largely dependent on nuclear and renewables, although gas has a key role to play over the medium term, as it will help reduce reliance on coal in electricity generation. However, both sectors have experienced setbacks. Further delays are expected over the expansion of the Temelin nuclear facility following the announcement by the government that it might not to guarantee strike prices. c. There is also an increasing level of uncertainty within the country's renewables regulatory framework, with a number of state subsidies for developers of renewable energy projects being cut. We therefore expect sluggish growth across the majority of segments within the renewables industry in 2014.

Mexico is not a natural market for heating appliances due to the country's warm climate. Demand for heating appliances is limited by seasonal and geographical factors, with such products seeing their greatest popularity, for example, in northern Mexico during the winter. Hence, it was no surprise to see heating appliances record minimal growth of 1% in retail volume terms in 2013.

The outlook for Italy's metals sector is far from encouraging, as a combination of cheap Chinese imports, low domestic demand and few project expansions mean that growth in consumption and production will be sluggish over the period to 2018. However, we expect Italy to retain its position as the EU's second largest steelmaking country, with a 16% share of production and the status of a new producer.

Although we forecast Romanian real GDP growth to slow modestly to 2.8% in 2014, from an estimated 3.3% increase in 2013, we believe the economy is rebalancing towards a more stable and sustainable structure. While the economic growth has been largely driven by the country's robust exports, strengthening private consumption, supported by low inflation and favourable credit conditions, is expected to provide an important additional boost for the economy. This sets a firm foundation for moderate growth for Romania's food and drink sector over the coming years.

Our outlook for the Italian agribusiness sector has turned more bearish, as dry conditions in Europe, high operating costs and bleak economic prospects have taken a toll on the grains, dairy and livestock sectors. Our long-held view has favoured the grains segment over rice, and we expect conditions to be particularly favourable for wheat and corn over the forecast period to 2018. We expect poultry and cheese to outperform, mainly bolstered by the expected economic recovery, changes in consumption habits and opportunities for expansion into export markets.

While Australia is set to become a major player in the global liquefied natural gas (LNG) market by the end of the decade, the spiralling costs of existing LNG developments will most likely slow growth momentum, preventing the country from meeting its full gas production and export potential in the decade to come. Gas production and consumption growth could be further threatened by increasing rules on the extraction of coal bed methane. The country will also have to contend with a growing reliance on oil imports as domestic crude oil production experiences weak growth while refining outlook is bleak in face of regional competition.

Taiwanese insurance is dominated by the life insurance sector, accounting for around 85% of all premiums written in 2013, a total of US$79.9bn, and growing.

The non-life sector only wrote premiums of US$14.2bn in 2013, of which 70% are in the health insurance line, a compulsory line in Taiwan. Three behemoths dominate, and will continue to dominate the industry: Cathay Life, Fubon Life and Nan Shan Life, writing around half of all premiums in both life and non-life sectors.

Economy Set To Remain Flat In 2014

The pharmaceutical manufacturing sector will remain an economic mainstay for Puerto Rico. The local government is focused on defending the commonwealth nation's position as a global pharmaceutical production hub by offering incentives for the expansion of existing manufacturing plants and pursuing new opportunities in contract manufacturing operations as well as generic and biologic drug production. However, it will be difficult for the island to return to its former pharmaceutical manufacturing glory.

We expect Saudi crude production to remain elevated but decline in 2014 and 2015. This view is based on rising non-OPEC supplies, assumed growth in Iraqi production and the potential of higher volumes from Iran. However, major disruptions to supplies from key producers such as Libya, and expectations for a recovery in global demand for crude, are likely to keep production elevated, posing upside risks to our forecasts. Major downstream additions are to continue into 2014 while Aramco is planning a major effort to tap conventional and unconventional shale gas reserves. The outlook for gas remains tight, despite ambitious plans to tap unconventional resources; we believe that rising consumption and faltering supplies may yet see the Kingdom seriously consider imports.
