The most important trend impacting full-service restaurants in 2013 was the number of closures of independent outlets. This was a continuation of the trend already seen in 2012, as many operators started to quit the business; no longer finding it profitable due to the ongoing crisis affecting Italy. The depressing economic situation, which more and more Italians were experiencing first-hand, led consumers to be very careful of their out-of-home and non-essential expenses. Although the number of closures was less dramatic if compared with 2012, 2013 still saw 3,170 fewer outlets overall across the nation, with most closures happening in city centres.

While we hold a positive view on the South African agricultural sector and see particular growth in the livestock sector, we are less optimistic on sustained growth in cereals production. This will be due to slower yield growth owing to lower input usage from a weaker currency, and limited developed in GMO seed plantings. The sugar sector also presents interesting growth opportunities, mainly thanks to renewed investment and improved technologies. The country's livestock sector will see greater growth over the coming years owing to lower grain prices and increasing demand from a more affluent population. We believe the country's main agribusiness companies, AFGRI , Rainbow Chicken and Astral Foods , will reap the benefit from lower global grain prices and therefore lower feed prices.

There remains some growth potential Bahrain's mobile market, but the key opportunities in the country's telecoms market now lie in the advanced mobile and wireline data markets. This is supported by strong consumer appetite for data services as well as operators' heavy investments in 4G LTE and 100Mbps fibre networks. As well as encouraging continued take-up of 3G and 4G, telecoms operators are also increasing their focus on improving subscriber mixes and bolstering their converged and value-added services portfolios in order to offset declining voice revenues and the impact of market saturation. We have a positive growth outlook for these segments, supported by healthy GDP and private consumption growth forecasts to 2018. However we note that strong competition in the mobile and wireline sectors will continue to weigh on the pace of revenue growth.

The category will still decline in sales due to falling demand for bird food and fish food. Polish consumers will be less likely to choose birds and fish as pets as a result of changing fashions and rising rates of allergies related to birds or fish food. At the same time, some consumers, especially price-conscious ones, will opt to buy cheaper products and decide to cut their spending on complementary products.
