BMI maintains its cautiously optimistic view on the Argentine port sector, as it continues to struggle with external headwinds as well as internal difficulties in the form of rising inflation and labour unrest. Economic growth in Argentina is set to moderate sharply in 2012 to 4.0% from an estimated 9.3% in 2011. Although Argentina's GDP growth remained strong in recent quarters we believe signs that a slowdown in economic activity lies ahead have already started to emerge.

The Czech consumer outlook continues to remain extremely challenging. In light of a still weak economic outlook for the German economy, we hold to our forecast for the Czech Republic to experience lacklustre growth this year. We forecast a mere 0.1% real GDP growth this year, down from 1.7% in 2011. Weakened external demand and persistently depressed consumer sentiment, part ongoing fiscal austerity measures, will continue to impede activity.

Due to the convergence of a number of factors, the Belgian market is entering a period of evolution that will affect the strategies of a number of operators. These trends and developments are covered in the Q312 Belgium Telecommunications Report, along with market data analysis of the mobile, fixed-line, broadband and pay-TV markets. The report also includes our latest forecast for the telecoms markets through to 2016.BMI believes there are two key developments that will have a significant impact on telecoms markets in Belgium over the medium term. The first is the introduction of mobile termination rate (MTR) cuts in January 2012 and January 2013 that will result in MTRs declining by an average of 74.6% from their 2011 levels to EURc1.08 by 2013. This will have a significant impact on mobile operators Proximus, Mobistar and BASE, and putting increased pressure on them to develop revenue streams in data services. One area Mobistar has performed particularly well in is the nascent machine-tomachine market, claiming 70% market share in 2011. We expect this market to grow rapidly, which could become a valuable source of revenue for the operator.

Despite the fact that the macroeconomic picture across the globe currently looks bleak for this year - Vietnam's main export partners, the US, China and Japan, are all set to suffer slowdowns during 2012 - Vietnam's freight transport industry appears to be heading towards a period of sustained healthy growth in the mid term. The country's nickname of the 'factory of Asia' - a reputation based on the country's booming exports, which have buoyed the freight sector - still stands, although exports are set to be adversely affected by the predicted 'hard landing' in China this year, as well as a weak eurozone. Leading the way in terms of annual growth in 2012 will be the road sector, which is set for 6.97% growth. Taking second spot by mode will be air freight, with 5.72% growth predicted, while rail freight will also enjoy healthy growth of 5.29%. Inland waterways will perform well this year, with annual growth forecast to come in at 5.11%. Meanwhile, the maritime sector will be led by the port of Ho Chi Minh City, which is expected to see very healthy tonnage throughput rates not only in 2012 but in the mid term also.
