A large tourism sector fuels consumption in a number of food and drink sectors, including soft and alcoholic drinks. Across the region, any fluctuations in tourism levels have a noticeable impact on the premium alcoholic drinks sector, where the majority of consumption can be attributed to affluent tourists. In the food sector, segments that are particularly reliant on the tourist dollar include convenience and brand-name products from the US.

Late 2017, we removed the Limbe refinery capacity expansion previously included in our forecast. There are no recent updates on refining expansion works and it remains unclear whether any expansion works have started at all. Nothing indicates an expansion will go through. In addition, given the difficult financial position of SONARA, we believe an expansion is unlikely to go through for the time being.

As present, Cambodia has no petroleum law. While new legislation is currently being drafted, the sector is currently governed by the 1991 Petroleum Regulations. In addition to the regulations, the draft model PSC is also used and was adopted by the General Department of Petroleum to provide comprehensive guidelines for the petroleum sector. The government has suggested it is working on a new comprehensive 'Petroleum Law', increasing uncertainty for investors, which has in turn stalled exploration and development efforts. The draft petroleum law, which was due for release by the end of 2015, has been postponed until several technical issues are clarified. The law will regulate the extraction of oil from onshore and offshore fields. In particular, the government has explained that it needs more time to study how revenue from the industry can be managed, alongside the proposed establishment of a national petroleum company.

The Brazilian pharmaceutical market is the largest in Latin America, a position we expect it to maintain and solidify over our forecast period and thus drive foreign investment in the market - despite drug pricing challenges. We calculate that pharmaceutical sales in Brazil reached a value of BRL78.7bn (USD24.7bn) in 2017, accounting for 1.2% of GDP and 12.6% of health expenditure. Patented drug sales represented the largest segment of the market at 47.4% of overall sales, with a value of BRL37.3bn (USD10.7bn). Medicine spending per capita was calculated to be just USD118 in 2017.

We estimate the population at 207.7mn in 2016, the fifth largest in the world. Population growth is average for the Americas region at 0.8% per annum. Brazil has a relatively young population; around 8.2% of the population was aged 65 years or more in 2016, equal to 17.0mn people, although this segment is growing at a rate of 3.4% per annum. There are 2.7mn births and 1.3mn deaths each year, with an infant mortality rate estimated at 13.1 per thousand live births in 2016. Life expectancy is 71.5 years for men and 78.9 years for women. The fertility rate has fallen to 1.7, below the population replacement level. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics now anticipates that Brazil will begin the phenomenon of population reduction by 2030, a whole decade earlier than previously forecast. Conversely, the elderly population will continue to grow with the number of people aged 65 and over set to more than treble by 2050.
