BMI View: Overall, we hold an optimistic outlook towards the country's agriculture sector. However, we highlight that the shift from raw commodity exports to refined exports (especially for palm oil and cocoa) will warrant more public and private investment in order for the raw inputs industry to keep pace with downstream industries. In a bid to achieve the government's agriculture production targets, the ministry plans to allocate INR17.81trn (US$1.96bn) to support its self-sustainability and expansion programmes, slightly more than the amount spent in 2011, about INR17.6trn.

The Canadian addressable domestic market for IT products and services is forecast by BMI to reach US$52.4bn by 2016. Canadian IT spending is expected to report 6% growth in 2012, with drivers including hardware refreshes, datacentre consolidation and a growing interest in cloud computing.

Domestic and foreign demand for mineral resources will spur a period of rapid growth in Brazil's mining sector, as investment exploits substantial untapped reserves. Iron ore will remain by far the primary driver of Brazilian mining growth, although base metals and gold will provide additional opportunities for sector development. Infrastructure investments in the run up to the World Cup and Olympics will allow more efficient and cost effective extraction and transport of mineral resources. We forecast that Brazil's mining industry will contract in 2012, primarily on the back of moderated iron ore prices. We expect the industry value to reach US$66.6bn in 2015, up from US$55.4bn in 2011. Driven by strong global demand for iron ore at home and abroad, we forecast average annual industry growth of 9.0% between 2011 and 2015.

BMI View: Despite the threat of austerity measures and the government's focus on cost-containment within the pharmaceuticals and healthcare sector, as well as the impact of generic competition as a result of the patent cliff, we expect Germany to remain attractive to innovative drugmakers. In 2011, Germany's drug market was the fourth largest globally after the US, Japan and China. Furthermore, per-capita spending is high, there is a sizeable pensionable population and regulations are transparent - factors BMI believes will continue to bring in substantial income for companies operating in the country.
