In 2011, India was ranked the twelfth-most attractive tourist destination in the Asia-Pacific region by the World Economic Forum. Furthermore, travel and tourism is the largest service industry in India, accounting for XX% of the country's GDP and employing XX% of the country's total workforce. During the review period, India's tourist volumes increased due to a variety of factors, with some of the most notable being robust global economic growth, government initiatives such as granting of export house status to the Indian tourism industry, and incentives for promoting private investment in the form of income tax exemptions and the provision of interest subsidies. Over the forecast period, India's total tourist volumes are expected to grow due to India's rapidly increasing average disposable income, the rising number of business opportunities in the country, vast natural and cultural resources, and increased spending by the government on developing tourism infrastructure. India is also expected to record high growth in the number of medical tourists arriving from developed countries. Furthermore, the emergence of newer forms of tourism such as cruise tourism, agritourism and eco-tourism has the potential to substantially increase India's inbound tourist volumes over the forecast period.

The first two months of 2012 has seen the internal unrest that erupted in Syria in 2011 steadily worsen, as popular uprisings against several incumbent rulers swept across the North African and Mediterranean region. What initially resembled a peaceful uprising against the regime of President Bashar al-Assad has deteriorated into an open, violent insurrection. Determined opposition against Assad's regime has taken route in the country, particularly in and around Syria's third-largest city of Homs.

BMI View: Subdued oil demand growth means the prospects for refiners and fuels distributors - already facing strong competition and struggling to maintain investment - are not good. The gas market has greater potential, both in terms of rising domestic demand and the scope to re-sell surplus LNG through regional pipeline links. Recent refinery closures point to a tighter and more volatile domestic fuels market.

The ever-deepening eurozone debt crisis is proving a major challenge to Germany's economic growth model. Further escalation of the crisis, which could see a sovereign or a financial institution default, may tip the balance and result in a major recession in Europe's biggest economy, which almost certainly would drag global growth into recession as well. For the time being we continue to hold to our 'muddlethrough' scenario for the eurozone despite acknowledging enormous risks of a break-up of the European monetary union. Somewhat more encouraging for Germany's longer-term growth outlook is the improvement witnessed in the domestic demand picture. Key to the improved performance of German households has been the continued decline in the unemployment rate, which fell to a post-reunification low of 6.8% in December 2011.
