We remain reasonably optimistic about Indonesia's growth prospects and are maintaining our forecast of 3. e3a7f232961ca66feaca9ffc9dd115edTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/kazakhstan_central_asia_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlWith Kazakhstan in the throes of recession and the Russian economy now projected to contract by 7. 1% alongside a severe global downturn, the outlook for Central Asia remains bleak over the course of 2009 and 2010. Systemic weaknesses in Kazakhstan's banking sector will ensure that the economy remains in a fragile state over the medium term, while lower global commodity prices (compared with mid-2008 highs) will afflict exporters across the region. 622da6a25ce69a06ab89d4fa98202cefTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/belarus_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlIn BMI's Q309 Business Forecast Report, we assess the impact of the deepening global recession on Belarus, paying particular attention to the country's stark external financing requirements and weakening relations with Russia. We forecast the economy to contract by 4. 3% in real terms this year and to grow by only 1. 037d15ca7d15866fbf55dc78bfc1ba01Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/philippines_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlWe continue to expect the Philippines to be a regional economic outperformer in 2009 as robust remittances underpin private consumption. We have nevertheless revised down our 2009 GDP growth forecast from 2. 8% to 0. 999e2ab35fd0b5aaf3cf6c47c3ead65eTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/israel_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlForeign relations and the Palestinian question are, as ever, high on the agenda in Israel. While foreign allies are pushing the Netanyahu administration towards a two-state solution, public opinion remains highly sceptical, as do many in the government coalition. On the economic front, the government faces the challenge of balancing military spending with a rising social welfare bill, at a time of recession and rising unemployment (not to mention a large and unwieldy coalition with diverse spending priorities). 694051a4c4779a43e6e1dec3543737e8Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/bahrain_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlAs we move towards the second half of what has been a turbulent year economically, things seem to be calming down on a number of levels. Global markets have picked up, with oil prices and equity markets moving higher as confidence returns. The Lebanese elections and Iranian elections have subtly changed the outlook for the whole region as well, and are broadly favourable, in terms of investor perceptions and the likelihood of gradually reduced political risk in the Middle East. a81a28916bd6404390de902019a20487Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/south_africa_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlSouth Africa's 2009 parliamentary elections have been an extraordinary event in many respects. Perhaps most importantly, the ruling African National Congress (ANC) scored a clear electoral victory, gaining 65. 9% of all votes, followed by the Democratic Alliance (DA, 16. 5a20f2ea929372386a29fd6b2e1b77d9Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/angola_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlAngola faces a tough challenge this year in the form of significantly lower oil prices. Hydrocarbons have fuelled double-digit economic growth in recent years, but with a global recession and reduced oil export revenues underway, more difficult times lie ahead. In the aftermath of the global financial crisis, BMI now sees a 2. e6000176876f8615136cf147fea9cc39Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/greece_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlThe government's budgetary problems are even worse than we had previously feared, after the general government deficit soared to 5% of GDP in 2008. Ambitious plans to bring the shortfall back into accordance with eurozone regulations have failed to deliver in the early part of this year, and more measures are due to be presented to an increasingly impatient European Commission. However, with the economy clearly sliding into a painful recession, correcting the fiscal imbalance will be extremely difficult. efaa0c9d94376b0d13bb50b59aa0ad25Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/china_business_forecast_report_q4_2009.htmlOutlook Brightening, But Concerns Persist Stronger than expected real GDP growth in Q209 has forced us to revise up our 2009 growth forecast. Driven primarily by government-led investment, real GDP staged an impressive rebound in Q209 to expand by 7. 9% y-o-y, as compared to 6. 0728a41074a4f9391dc7f0b7ca34a949Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/qatar_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlAgainst the backdrop of a severe global recession - we see global growth coming in at -2. 6% in 2009, before returning to weak expansion of 1. 7% the following year - Qatar will be an outperformer. 0daf47645877555b17d0d398b8c45f9dTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/lithuania_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlFollowing the release of dire Q109 real GDP growth figures for Lithuania, we have revised down our real GDP forecast for 2009 and now project a 12. 6% contraction (compared with our previous -10. 6% forecast). 9ef495b7ea0b35ad622cc9e99e90df05Tue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/uganda_telecommunications_report_q3_2009.htmlEnd of year results for Uganda's mobile market indicate that BMI's previous estimate was almost exactly right. At the end of 2008, the mobile subscriber base stood at 9. 451mn, with the penetration rate still just below 30%, showing there is much growth still to come. f027f4d04dcd097b4619cda05121cf7dTue, 07 Jul 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/trinidad_tobago_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlGlobal financial and economic headwinds are sweeping through the Caribbean, and are unlikely to leave any of the region's economies unscathed. While Trinidad & Tobago is better placed than most to deal with the global economic storm, the years of double-digit economic expansion are well and truly over. In 2009 and 2010, the government of Prime Minister Patrick Manning will be faced with the double blow of collapsing economic activity (and a surge in unemployment), as well as a soaring rate of violent crime. 073af797817cd03553859f132e7e636dSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/zimbabwe_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlThe instalment of Jacob Zuma as president of South Africa will not solve Zimbabwe's domestic problems, but is likely to be supportive of the country's peace process over the longer term. Although Zuma has so far said little about his future policy towards Zimbabwe, our view is that he will be supportive of the Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) and will focus more than Mbeki on practicalities rather than sentimentalities. Both Zuma and Tsvangirai count on their respective labour movements for political support, and share similar personal backgrounds of great achievement without the benefit of much formal education. 26e7e3feff6706d4904a1fa9bb79f2ecSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/saudi_arabia_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlFor the first time in several quarters, we begin this Business Forecast Report on a (qualified) optimistic note. Since we became bullish on the Tadawul All-Share Index on March 18, the index has risen by 38. 7% (as of the time of writing, on May 12th), and oil prices had ticked up somewhat. 59d04e2783106a9e513863b94ee11da0Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/vietnam_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlThe 3. 1% y-o-y expansion in Q109 was the lowest on record, but more recent macroeconomic data suggest that the government and central bank's stimulus measures are now gaining traction. We thus acknowledge upside risks to our 2. e5f783d1552fdb7ed124c89605276a6fSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/thailand_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlThailand will continue to grapple with multiple challenges in the third quarter of 2009, as economic activity remains depressed and the political scene unsettled. The rapid slowdown in the global economy has impacted the Thai economy disproportionately due to its heavy reliance on external demand. Steering the economy back towards domestic demand-driven growth will not be an easy feat. 0686f2a0ce1b1fa338924e6cf7ad0b50Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/australia_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlAustralia's economic prospects have continued to deteriorate as a result of the global slump, and we stick to our long-held belief that it will have entered recession in Q109. While the economy will receive a boost from the wide range of policy measures - both monetary and fiscal - these are unlikely to prevent it from slipping into a more prolonged period of downturn. The slowdown will be led by falling rates of private consumption growth and investment, while low commodities prices will continue to have an adverse effect on the country's terms of trade. 506b82039c90316fa3ee971f1500e17eSat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)http://www.reportbuyer.com/business_government/country_overview_business_services/francophone_west_africa_business_forecast_report_q3_2009.htmlThis report assesses the economic and political impact of the global recession on Francophone West Africa's major economies. As energy prices are likely to remain subdued over the course of 2009 and 2010, the region's largest oil and gas producers are set to see a significant slowdown in economic activity, with Equatorial Guinea's real GDP expected to contract by over 4. 0% this year. 38c8acaeaff04b3ab8ce694765600708Sat, 06 Jun 2009 12:00:00 GBBusiness & Government/Country Overview (Business Services)
