Egypt is the world's largest wheat importer and will benefit from the recent sell-off in grain prices. The country is in the process of reforming its food subsidy programme in an effort to make the process more efficient. We believe that particularly good growth prospects exist in the country's livestock and dairy industries, as cattle herds continue to recover from a foot and mouth outbreak in 2012. These sectors will also benefit from lower global grain prices relative to the last several years, and an improving domestic economic situation.

The ongoing economic crisis hitting Italy led consumers to be cautious about out-of-home spending, and they opted to trade down and prioritise informal and affordable solutions. This trend favoured street stalls/kiosks in 2013, which overall recorded growth of 3% in current value terms. Street stalls/kiosks are usually convenient to reach, as many kiosks are located in city centres or near popular tourist attractions. They offer a meal at a more affordable price compared with full-service restaurants, and their food offering is considered to be of higher quality and tastier than cafes/bars.

Recent news flow from both the regulator and insurance companies themselves confirm our view that the Malaysian insurance sector is a strong, stable and dynamic industr y. The recent premium growth in the non-life sector has been predicated on a improving domestic economy and increased auto sales however with the introduction of greater product innovation it has the potential to grow premiums(Y-O-Y) further over the forecast period. While the life insurance has not had a comparatively successful year changes in regulation auger well for the long term prospects of the sector.

Argentina's power generation grew by 5.3% in 2014 , as the Atucha II nuclear plant went online after years of delays - a crucial step in the government's ambitious nuclear expansion plan. Nevertheless, the country continues to suffer from poor power infrastructure and insufficient installed capacity, as highligh ted by an agreement to start import ing Bolivian power by the end of 2015. The recen t sovereign default has further damaged the business environment and prompted us to expect the country to remain primarily dependent on Chinese financing for power projects in the short term (particularly in hydropower). However, we hold a much more positive outlook for the country starting from 2016, when a GDP rebound and the possibility of a new course in economic policy after the elections in October 2015 could trigger broader international investment in Argentina's vast untapped potential.

The report contains a detailed description of the power generation company's business operations, history, corporate strategy, and business structure. This report contains a detailed SWOT analysis, information on key employees (executives), and major products and services.

Following a sequence of eight rate cuts by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) since 2011, in June 2014 the RBA confirmed that the official cash rate was going to be kept on hold at 2.5%, with no additional changes before the end of the year.
