ABARES has undertaken regular surveys of key Commonwealth fisheries since the early 1990s. The resulting data are used to assess the financial performance of operators in the fishery and the economic performance of the fishery as a whole. These performance measures act as important indicators for fishery managers (Box 1). To provide a more comprehensive assessment of fishery-level performance, ABARES expanded the former Australian Fisheries Surveys report series in 2013 to include other economic indicators that draw on data collected from the surveys. These indicators include productivity and terms of trade indexes, management costs and quota latency measures. In this report, survey-based results are presented for 2013–14 and 2014–15 and preliminary non–survey based results are presented for 2015–16 and 2016–17.

A relatively well developed public healthcare infrastructure exists.The need to upgrade and renovate hospital and clinic equipment represents opportunities. Sizeable medical device market. Diagnostic imaging has the largest market share, followed by other medical devices. Single-digit 2016-2021 CAGR in US dollar terms; the market dipped in the 2016. The market relies on imports, which represent nearly 90% of the total. Local producers can fulfil small orders not attractive to foreign producers.

The agricultural sector is responsible for one quarter of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and will play a central role as the world transitions to a low-carbon future. The livestock sector - and cattle ranching in particular - will be at the forefront of the policy debate, given its outsized contribution to emissions, but the transition will also impact the rest of the sector as governments move to regulate land and fertiliser use and incentivise the production of crop-based biofuels (see 'Environmental Regulation To Tackle Livestock & Fertilisers, Incentivise Biofuels', October 12 2017).

State entity Albpetrol used to dominate the Albanian oil and gas sector, though the gradual liberalisation of the oil and gas market has seen its position largely reduced to a regulator. Albpetrol still controls oil deposits but has production agreements with foreign companies: Bankers Petroleum (now Geo-Jade Petroleum), GBC Oil, Sherwood International, Transoil Pennine Petroleum and Phoenix Petroleum. It also has a joint venture with Shell.

Russia’s healthcare and pharmaceutical sector was badly affected by the 2015-2016 recession, which resulted in a sharp drop in government spending, while the weak rouble and high inflation cut into households’ disposable incomes. Though healthcare spending continued to increase in local currency terms, it slumped to less than two-thirds of its 2014 level in terms of US dollars. Pharmaceutical (pharma) sales declined for the third straight year in 2016. However, the government’s protectionist policy helped boost domestic production of pharmaceuticals, with output growing at double-digit rates in both 2015 and 2016.

AMI mainly refers to the entire infrastructure from smart meters to the two-way communication network through the various communication and data processing channels to control the main equipment. It comprises all the applications that permit the assembly and flow of energy usage material on a near real-time basis. It is comprised of various hardware and software components, all of which play a role in measuring energy consumption and transmitting information about energy, water, and gas usage to utility companies and customers. It is considered as the backbone of the smart grid as all operations in the metering and load flow are regulated by it. Its main functions include remote meter reading for error-free data, identifying system problems, load outlining, energy inspection, and reduction of the load during shedding.

Cognitive enhancers are drugs and supplements, which are majorly used by patients suffering from Alzheimer's disease, schizophrenia, stroke, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or aging. In addition, these drugs are used by health individuals to improve cognitive functions such as memory, intelligence, motivation, stamina, alertness attention, and concentration.
