BMI View: Production growth is set to outpace consumption growth in the Malaysia oil sector as the removal of fuel subsidies and a move towards coal-fired power plants reduce domestic demand for oil. Production will continue to be strong given our positive demand forecasts for oil within the Asian region. The trend is reversed in gas where consumption growth will outpace domestic production growth as Malaysia's gas prices continue to be the lowest in the South East Asian region and it remains the preferred energy fuel by power companies.

BMI View: According to the Canadian Institute for Health Information, the growth of spending on prescription drugs in Canada slowed to its lowest level since 1996 in 2011, when it came in at just 4% year-on-year (y-o-y). This slowdown was attributed to the expiration of certain blockbuster drugs' patents, which will continue to place downward pressure on the growth of the overall pharmaceutical market in the country. Nevertheless, epidemiological demands of an ageing population will serve to counterbalance some of those pressures to a degree, even though we continue to expect that the generic drug market will significantly outperform its patented counterpart. In the meantime, market access for innovative products remains hampered by differential reimbursement policies across Canada's provinces and also by the lacking patent protection environment.

BMI View: We retain a cautious outlook on the UAE banking sector in 2012 and are pencilling in only a moderate expansion in the industry's consolidated balance sheet. Domestically, weakness in the real estate market and Dubai's debt repayment schedule are likely to cap an aggressive expansion in banks' loan portfolios. We are projecting anaemic growth in the UAE's banking sector in 2012, with the consolidated balance sheet of the industry forecast to expand by only 4.0% year-on-year (y-o-y) following estimated growth of only 2.0% y-o-y in 2011. Private sector deleveraging, ongoing declines in the real estate market, concerns over Dubai's debt-repayment schedule, higher loan loss provisioning, and increasingly tight liquidity conditions do not augur well for the sector over the coming quarters. While the industry, in aggregate, has remained profitable, a host of recently released and relatively uninspiring data points lend credit to the view that a significant degree of caution is still warranted. The total stock of credit outstanding in the economy expanded by only 3.3% in November 2011. This marked the 26th consecutive month of single-digit growth in the industry's loan books. The headline figure continues to mask a significant degree of divergence at the individual industry level, however, with United Arab Emirates Commercial Banking Report Q2 2012 © Business Monitor International Ltd Page 35 credit to the trade and government sectors increasing steadily in contrast with ongoing declines for transport, financial and personal loans for consumption purposes. The latter is particularly instructive, as ongoing deleveraging by UAE households continues to weaken the demand for new credit. While we expect new lending to remain subdued, our forecast for the total stock of credit in the economy to expand 5.0% y-o-y would nevertheless mark the highest rate of growth in five years. Matching broader trends in more developed markets, interbank liquidity has been gradually drying up over the past several months, which does not bode well for those still waiting for a more fundamental improvement in credit conditions. Indeed, the three-month Emirates Interbank Offered Rate (EIBOR) has gradually been ticking higher, coming in at 1.5200 on January 13, from 1.4725 in September 2011. That said, the rate of increase has been less pronounced than that seen in Europe, with the spread of three month EIBOR over LIBOR (the London Interbank Offered Rate) falling to a multi-year low of 0.9485 at the start of January. With concerns over the strength of the global economy elevated, and risk aversion associated with Dubai's onerous debt repayment schedule unlikely to dissipate, we expect interbank rates to gradually head higher over the coming months, which will only dampen new lending activity further. Profitability Remains, With Abu Dhabi Outperformance Broadly speaking, we expect Abu Dhabi's banking sector to continue outperforming their pe
