BMI: United Arab Emirates Food & Drink Report (Feb-12)

2012-02-20 15:41:00 (читать в оригинале)

Although the UAE?s economy is set to slow in 2012, the outlook for the food industry remains strong. The UAE is set for another year of steady yet relatively uninspiring growth through 2012 as global headwinds stemming from the eurozone crisis and the imposition of more stringent international sanctions on Iran weigh on the outlook for the non-oil sector. Real GDP is forecast to expand by 3.0% following an estimated 3.3% rate of expansion posted in 2011. The latest HSBC Purchasing Managers' Index for the UAE would seem to confirm that a slight slowdown is already under way.The index, which is a measure of the economy's manufacturing and services sectors, dropped to a four-month low of 51.7 in December 2011.
