Food Inflation Focus: Wheat, Corn & Soy - American farmers are facing one of the worst droughts since the 1950s.

The devastation of the key Corn Belt in the United States has led to tight grain supplies, causing corn, wheat, and soybean prices to rally +44.8%, +42.8% and +24.3%, respectively since June.

- While wheat and corn prices may continue to stay high over the next 4-6 months, we anticipate that soybean futures could diverge soon if El Nino materializes.

- Food price impact on segment performance mixed. Key sectors impacted by higher wheat, corn and soy prices are animal feed / poultry /aquaculture producers (corn/soybean), food processors (wheat/palm oil) and CPO plantation (soybean/palm oil). Our analysts favor animal feedmills and food retailing (Siam Makro, Charoen Pokphand Foods and Charoen Pokphand Indonesia); are mildly neutral on CPO planters (First Resources and Sarawak Oil Plantation) but are cognizant that a strong El Nino event could be a rerating trigger because of stronger CPO prices; and, see the highest risk for food processors (Indofood CBP and Universal Robina Corp).

VN: Strategy Michael Kokalari 6 Banker’s Arrest Sends Stocks Plunging - The VN-Index has plunged 10% so far this week because of the arrest of

Nguyen Duc Kien, the founder of Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), for as-yet unspecified crimes related to “illegal trading activities”.

- ACB is the leading private sector bank in Vietnam and 15%-owned by Standard Chartered. According to a bank spokesman, Kien currently owns less than 5% of the bank’s outstanding shares and has no official position at the bank and no influence on its operations. That said, the police have detained ACB’s current CEO for questioning.

- Some observers view the arrest as political theatre between different factions within the government, and believe the current market dip is a buying opportunity because the underlying macro situation is steadily improving. Foreign investors in particular have been fairly actively buying the market this week.

- A more pessimistic interpretation of events is that this arrest is the beginning of more serious trouble ahead for the market due to the intertwined nature of the key players in the banking system. Representatives of Eximbank (EIB), Sacombank (STB), Kien Long Bank and Southern Bank all made announcements to the effect that Kien has no influence over their operations.

SG: Land Transport Sector Bernard Chin 7 Industrials | Still More to be Made from this Pair Trade - Our Long-ComfortDelGro (CDG), Short-SMRT pair trade has reaped

plump rewards for investors executing our recommendation since our 5 April report with a 15% differential emerging between both stocks for a period of barely four months. Our call remains valid as of today: BUY CDG, SELL SMRT.

- SMRT’s new CEO Mr Desmond Kuek (wef 1 Oct 2012), with deep-seated experience in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) should be seen as a natural choice for SMRT’s executive hot seat. We think he will mark his era of leadership with a more regimented approach to operations and maintenance, and in the process spare no expense to fill the gaps left by the previous management regime.

- Earlier this month, CDG announced the AUD53m acquisition of Deane’s Bus Lines Pty Ltd and Transborder Express which will cement CDG’s position as the largest private bus operator in Australia. Management views Australia’s strong economy and continued population growth as growth drivers for transport services, and we are similarly optimistic about its prospects.

SMID Caps 2Q12 REVIEW Mcap USD340M ADTV USD0.2m MY: Kossan Rubber Industries (KRI MK) Lee Yen Ling 8 Industrials | Falling Latex Yet to Play Out | BUY | Upside 14% - 2Q12 net profit of MYR24m (+8% QoQ, +13% YoY) lifted 1H12 net profit

to MYR46m (+4% YoY). - Though 1H12 made up only 45% of our full-year forecast and 42% of

street’s estimates, we consider this to be within expectations as we foresee a stronger 2H12 on lower input costs and contribution from new capacity.

- We think the long-term soft latex price story has yet to play out, given its relatively flattish share price performance and cheap fwd PER of 8.8x. Maintain forecasts, BUY rating and TP of MYR3.75 (10x 2013 PER).

Company Notes 1Q13 REVIEW Mcap USD1.2b ADTV USD2.2m IN: Bharat Forge (BHFC IN) Jigar Shah 9 Industrials | Volume Declines Across Markets to Hurt Earnings | SELL | Upside 13% - Q1 EPS of Rs4.5 is down 16% QoQ. This is due to 1) 10% decline in

volume, 2) 160bp decline in gross margin and 3) 60% increase in the cost of interest QoQ.

- Even as we maintain our forecast of flat EPS growth for BHFC for FY13, the downside risk to its earnings is increasing. A second earnings downgrade appears likely after Q2 because, except the US market which forms 27% of its revenue, all other markets are witnessing a decline in automotive volume. The industrial forgings business has been resilient so far. But we expect it to come under pressure too as CAPEX in the manufacturing sector is not picking up.

- BHFC’s PER of 16x FY13F does not price in a possible earnings downgrade. We maintain SELL with TP of Rs255/sh based on PER of 14x FY13F.

2Q12 REVIEW Mcap USD2.2b ADTV USD1.6m PH: Philex Mining Corp (PX PB) Ramon Adviento 10 Mining | Lower Prices Lead to Expected Profit Dip | HOLD | Upside 63.86% - 1H12 reported net income stood at PHP2.04b, a 36.7% drop while profit

to common shareholders declined 34.4% to PHP2.09b, 53% of our full-year forecast of PHP3.92b. Copper prices dropped 13.6% YoY in 1H12 (USD368/lb vs USD426) while gold was relatively flat at USD1,651/oz.

- Continuous rains in a span of two weeks churned the tailings dam of Padcal mine and carried tails over the penstock. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau suspended operations from 1 Aug, and possibly may last for a month or more, depending on when the report is released.

- PX believes that the Silangan copper-gold project points to amenability of the deposit to the block caving mining method, which could change the value of Silangan as mining costs will go down while higher grades will enlarge the deposit.

- We will review our forecasts and valuation for PX. Meanwhile our HOLD rating and PHP30.61/sh target price remain until there is clarity on the suspension order. If operations remain suspended for the year, our NAV would be cut by PHP0.40/sh resulting in PHP30.21/sh.

1H12 REVIEW Mcap USD0.23b ADTV USD0.16m VN: Kinh Do Corporation (KDC VN) Tuyen Nguyen 11 Cons. Staples. | Focusing on Food Businesses | HOLD | Downside 6% - KDC’s 1H12 revenue inched up by 2.3% as sales of the company’s

confectionary products were impacted by the economic slowdown in Vietnam. Gross margins improved because of falling input costs but write-downs from asset disposals and rising SG&A costs tipped the company into a net loss of VND1.6b for 1H12.

- Kinh Do’s first half results were disappointing but the losses from asset disposals are part of the company’s efforts to re-focus on its core food business while the steady increase in the company’s SG&A over the last few years is related to its efforts to dramatically expand its sales and distribution capability. Those efforts should eventually lead to a much stronger platform through which the company will be able to sell new food products in the future, although it is clearly taking some time for the new, expanded sales force to start working efficiently.

- We continue to rate the stock a “Hold”, primarily based on valuation of 15x expected F12 earnings versus an expected 6% EPS growth, driven by strong seasonal sales for the rest of the year.

Economics PH: July Government Budget Luz Lorenzo 12 Government’s Spending Spree Continues - Total spending by the national government grew 21.8% YoY in July, the

fastest rate this year. Net of interest payments, spending reached PHP756.7b in 7M12, up 15.2%.

- Despite robust spending, the budget deficit for the year is only PHP73.7b. It is likely the annual deficit this year will be lower than the official target of PHP280b (2.6% of GDP) as well as our forecast of PHP257b as the government realizes further revenue from the sale of the Food Terminal Inc complex of PHP24.3b.

- We expect sustained government spending to bolster overall economic activity for the rest of the year even as the economy faces headwinds from stagnant global economic growth that is likely to weigh down on exports. The caveat though is that as government spending started to pick up in 2H11, YoY growth rates for public expenditures in 2H12 may slow when compared with 1H12.

Agriculture Food Inflation: Wheat, Corn & Soybeans

US drought the worst since the 1950s. The devastation of the key Corn Belt in the United States has led to tight grain supplies, causing corn, wheat, and soybean prices to rally +44.8%, +42.8% and +24.3%, respectively since June. The price trends for corn and soybean has even surpassed the previous peak cycle in 2008. Weather patterns are only expected to improve marginally but the situation remains dire until South American crops come to harvest in early 2013.

El Nino may bring some respite to America’s farmers. A developing El Nino weather pattern has been picked up by key meteorological bureaus including the US Climate Prediction Center, a part of NOAA. El Nino can increase rainfall to the Americas and raise the prospect of a bumper harvest in South America. Because of better grain economics, we believe that South American farmers will likely favor soybean over other grain types in the upcoming planting season which begins in earnest in Sep/Oct.

Wheat, corn & soy prices to diverge. While wheat and corn prices may continue to stay high over the next 4-6 months, we anticipate that soybean futures could diverge soon if El Nino materializes. El Nino however tends to be inflationary for CPO as the drier weather in Asia curtails production output and crimps supply. Food price impact on segment performance mixed. Key sectors impacted by higher wheat, corn and soy prices are animal feed / poultry /aquaculture producers (corn/soybean), food processors (wheat/palm oil) and CPO plantation (soybean/palm oil). Our analysts favor animal feedmills and food retailing (Siam Makro, Charoen Pokphand Foods and Charoen Pokphand Indonesia), are mildly neutral on CPO planters (First Resources and Sarawak Oil Plantation) but are cognizant that a strong El Nino can be a catalyst for stronger CPO prices, and see the highest risk for food processors (Indofood CBP and Universal Robina Corp).

Strategy 24 August 2012

Vietnam

Banker’s Arrest Sends Stocks Plunging

ACB founder arrested. The arrest on Monday evening of Nguyen Duc Kien, the founder of Asia Commercial Bank (ACB), caused the VN-Index to decline 10% from Tuesday to Thursday this week. The following is a summary of information in the local Vietnamese press. In addition to this officially-sanctioned information, a considerable number of unpublished rumours are circulating around the stock market in Vietnam, some of which seem implausible.

Leading private sector bank. ACB is the leading private sector bank in Vietnam by assets, widely considered to be the best-managed bank and 15%-owned by Standard Chartered. The perception of ACB’s high quality has caused the stock to trade at about a 30% valuation premium to the rest of the private sector banks.

Arrest details not fully released yet. The Police Ministry and the central bank have said that Kien’s arrest is not related to ACB, but police have held ACB’s current CEO Ly Xuan Hai for questioning. An ACB spokesman said that the matter is a “personal issue of Kien’s”, that Kien holds less than 5% of ACB’s outstanding shares and that he is no longer a member of the board of directors. SBV governor Binh said that “three companies founded by Kien were detected to have conducted illegal trading activities”, the penalty for which could be two years in jail.

SBV provides liquidity support. The central bank has pledged to support ACB’s liquidity “in the event of a run on the bank”. Also, ACB’s branch directors and deputy directors were instructed not to leave their branches to bolster depositor confidence. We estimate that about USD400m was withdrawn from ACB in the first two days following Kien’s arrest. Our understanding is that the central bank has injected nearly USD1b into the banking system this week, about USD330m of which went to ACB.

Market impact – the benign case. Some observers view Kien’s arrest as political theatre between different factions within the government. Over the last few months, those factions have taken their infighting public by issuing statements in the local news media. One theory is that the arrest is an escalation of that infighting, and that the matter will be cleared up within weeks. In that case, the market’s current dip is a buying opportunity because the underlying macro situation is steadily improving, although stock prices will probably be somewhat constrained by these concerns for the rest of the year. Foreign investors, who have been buying stocks fairly aggressively this week, presumably take this view. An even more positive interpretation of events is that this is the beginning of a concerted crackdown on corruption to reassure Vietnam’s citizens that “wealth does not buy power”.

Market impact – the malign case. A more pessimistic interpretation is that this arrest is the beginning of more serious trouble ahead for the market due to the intertwined nature of the key players in the banking system. This view is best summarised by Harvard professor Jonathan Pincus’ comments: “It’s like a spaghetti bowl… It’s very difficult to untangle the relationships… [which] presents a very difficult governance problem for the financial system”. Representatives of Eximbank (EIB), Sacombank (STB), Kien Long Bank and Southern Bank all made announcements to the effect that Kien has no influence over their operations.

Land Transport Sector Still More to be Made from this Pair Trade

Pair trade still going strong. Our Long-ComfortDelGro (CDG), Short-SMRT pair trade has reaped plump rewards for investors executing our recommendation since our 5 April report with a 15% differential emerging between both stocks for a period of barely four months. Our call remains valid as we stand by our SELL call for SMRT on operating cost and cashflow concerns crimping dividends. CDG remains our pick in the land transport sector, led by their overseas businesses.

SMRT: Ushering in a new era. SMRT’s new CEO Mr Desmond Kuek (wef 1 Oct 2012), with deep-seated experience in the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) should be seen as a natural choice for SMRT’s executive hot seat. We think he will mark his era of leadership with a more regimented approach to operations and maintenance, and in the process spare no expense to fill the gaps left by the previous management regime. This reaffirms our expectation that dividends would be further cut from the previous year to manage the weight of an increased maintenance burden on profitability and cashflow.

CDG: Australian buy points the way overseas. Earlier this month, CDG announced the AUD53m acquisition of Deane’s Bus Lines Pty Ltd and Transborder Express which will cement CDG’s position as the largest private bus operator in Australia. Management views Australia’s strong economy and continued population growth as growth drivers for transport services, and we are similarly optimistic about its prospects.

Latest quarter nothing to shout about. There were few surprises in SMRT and CDG’s latest 1QFY3/13 and 2Q2012 results respectively. The common theme was a challenging environment for Singapore-based operations, mainly hampered by losses in core bus segments which suffered from higher staff costs. On a more positive note, the taxi businesses were highlights for both companies.

Pick CDG the global leader, SELL SMRT. We see recent events not moving the needle as yet: SMRT’s new CEO will likely take swift action, but his moves will take time to show results, while CDG’s Deane’s acquisition reinforces our expectations of overseas growth. We maintain our preference for CDG based on its global operations’ diversification and growth while SMRT’s business remains largely domestic, and public pressure on maintenance and fare increases continue to pose a drag on profitability. BUY CDG, SELL SMRT.

Results Review 24 August 2012

PP16832/01/2013 (031128)

Malaysia

Kossan Rubber Industries Falling latex yet to play out

Good results. 2Q12 net profit of MYR24m (+8% QoQ, +13% YoY) lifted 1H12 net profit to MYR46m (+4% YoY). Though 1H12 made up 45% of our full-year forecast and 42% of street’s estimates, we consider this to be within expectations as we foresee a stronger 2H12 on lower input costs and contribution from new capacity. We think the long-term soft latex price story has yet to play out, given its relatively flattish share price performance and cheap fwd PER of 8.8x. Maintain forecasts, BUY rating and TP of MYR3.75 (10x 2013 PER).

Driven by higher sales volume, lower latex cost. Stronger net profit of MYR24m (+8% QoQ, +13% YoY) was derived from: (i) higher sales volume of 2.6b pcs (+5% QoQ, +27% YoY); (ii) slightly higher EBIT margin of 11% (+0.2-ppt QoQ, +0.4-ppt YoY) on lower latex input cost (-12% QoQ) and stronger USD:MYR (+3% QoQ); and (iii) clean-room division remained in a minor loss of MYR0.3m owing to development cost. The sales volume product mix between latex:nitrile gloves is 53:47.

Expect stronger earnings in 2H on: (i) enhanced margins on lower input costs. Both latex and NBR costs have dropped 15% QoQ and 23% QoQ respectively in 3Q12; and (ii) higher sales volume from new capacities. The new 1.25b pcs nitrile capacity (+11% to existing total capacity) is currently under trial run and full commercialization is expected by Sep 2012. Additionally, Kossan also aims to commence 700m pcs surgical capacity by Nov 2012.

Softer latex price outlook. Despite the intervention scheme by Thai government since May 2012 (bought 80,000 tonnes rubber sheets from farmers), latex price continued to slide to RM5.50/kg now (-36% YoY). Going forward, Thai government is looking to spend another USD476m on buying rubber sheets from farmers, indicating 187,500 tonnes of rubber sheet (or c.2% of global production). We continue to think that it is inefficient to fight market forces and believe latex price will remain soft owing to weaker global demand and rising rubber output.

1Q13 RESULT REVIEW 24 August 2012

India

Bharat Forge (BHFC) Volume declines across markets to hurt earnings

Q1 EPS of Rs4.5 is down 16% QoQ. This is due to 1) 10% decline in volume, 2) 160bp decline in gross margin and 3) 60% increase in the cost of interest QoQ. Even as we maintain our forecast of flat EPS growth for BHFC for FY13, the downside risk to its earnings is increasing. A second earnings downgrade appears likely after Q2 because, except the US market which forms 27% of its revenue, all other markets are witnessing a decline in automotive volume. The industrial forgings business has been resilient so far. But we expect it to come under pressure too as CAPEX in the manufacturing sector is not picking up. BHFC’s PER of 16x FY13F does not price in a possible earnings downgrade. We maintain SELL with TP of Rs255/sh based on PER of 14x FY13F. Q1 revenue of Rs9.3bn(+9%) is supported by INR depreciation vs. USD. BHFC’s auto forgings business accounts for 60% of its revenue and balance comes from industrial forgings. A sharp decline in domestic truck sales reduced BHFC’s domestic revenue by 8% YoY. Its volume declined 3% YoY basis and 10% QoQ. With GDP growth of 6.5%, poor monsoon, and high interest rates, we do not expect auto sector volume to revive during FY13. Rising interest cost, losses in China JV affected Q1 EPS. Q1 EPS of Rs4.5 declined 16% QoQ. BHFC’s gross margin came under pressure despite INR depreciation vs. the USD. Our FY13F gross margin of 17.6% may prove optimistic if domestic auto sales decline further. Moreover, the net margin will be pressured due to an unexpected increase in interest cost (+60% QoQ) and losses in the China joint venture due to poor capacity utilization. New CAPEX of Rs5bn for FY13/14. BHFC has comfortable net D/E of 0.6x to fund the CAPEX in India mainly for its industrial forgings business. . Expensive PER of 16x FY13F is unjustified. BHFC’s PER is at least 20% more than the auto sector peers and relative to the Nifty. The high PER is due to a sharp increase in earnings in the past 2 years, following a loss in FY10. We believe the past improvement is in the price. However, the anticipated earnings downgrades are not priced in.

Interim results

24 August 2012

Philex Mining Corp Lower prices lead to expected profit dip

1H12 profit down 37%. Copper prices dropped 13.6% YoY in 1H12 (USD368/lb vs USD426) while gold was relatively flat at USD1,651/oz. Production hikes by Philiex Mining Corp (PX) did not compensate for the drop in revenues/tonne as prices declined. As a result, gold revenues were lower 7.5% and copper by 1.8%. 1H12 reported net income stood at PHP2.04b, a 36.7% drop while profit to common shareholders declined 34.4% to PHP2.09b, 53% of our full-year forecast of PHP3.92b. Exacerbating the situation were lower grades encountered in 1H12. Copper was hitting grade of 0.215% instead of 0.225% achieved in 1H11 and gold was below 0.5 gpt. However, the start of 2H12 saw grades starting to move up. Two typhoons and monsoon rains inundate tailings dam. In a span of two weeks, continuous rains brought about by two typhoons and the southwest monsoon churned the tailings dam of Padcal mine and carried tails over the penstock. The Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) suspended operations from 1 Aug and will lift the order after repair of the leak and, possibly, preliminary results from desilting operations. The duration of work stoppage may be a month or more, depending on when the report is released. Work is now focused on clean-up operations. Exploration work on schedule. After a problematic start in the down ramp access to the Boyongan deposit of the Silangan copper-gold project, the drive has been steady and continuous. PX is confident their target for SRK Consulting to validate the mining method and thus the mineral resources and mineable reserves come December to January is on track. PX believes the material being encountered points to amenability of the deposit to the block caving mining method. That potentially could change the value of Silangan as mining costs will go down while higher grades as compared with Padcal will enlarge the deposit to 1.0b tonnes from 200m. Meanwhile, drills in the Kalayaan mining tenement are rumored to be yielding good results. Forecast review. With weak commodity prices and Padcal operations still suspended, we will review our forecasts and valuation for PX. Meanwhile our HOLD rating stays until there is clarity on the suspension order. Should operations remain suspended for the year we expect 2012 profit to range between PHP2.176b to PHP2.2b, which could cut by about PHP0.40/sh our NAV resulting in PHP30.21/sh.

Company Update 24 August 2012

Vietnam

Kinh Do Corporation Focusing on Food Businesses

1H12 loss due to financial assets disposals. KDC released its 1H12 results. Revenue inched up by 2.3% YoY to VND1,546b, as consumer demand and sentiment continue to be negatively affected by a difficult business environment. EBIT was flat at VND87b because an improvement in gross margins was offset by increased SG&A. A big loss from disposals of financial assets and deferred tax from previous years resulted in a net loss of VND7.6b for 1H12.

Better gross margins, but SG&A is a concern. KDC’s 1H12 gross margin rose 320bps YoY to 38.2%, driven by favourable raw material prices and an increasing sales contribution from ice cream, which carries 56% gross margin. However, the increase of the SG&A to revenue ratio from 29.2% in 1H11 to 32.5% in 1H12 wiped out the improvement in KDC’s overall gross margin. The steady increase in KDC’s SG&A ratio – from 18% in 2008 to 25.3% in 2010 and 30% in 2011 – is concerning, especially when compared to VNM’s SG&A ratio of circa 10%. Our understanding from the company is that this increase is largely due to a circa 80% increase in the size of the salesforce.

Divesting non-core assets. KDC continues to sell the holdings in its portfolio of over 30 stocks. The disposal of the Nutifood investment that had accounted for about 5% of KDC’s total assets resulted in a net loss of VND71b in 2Q12. KDC also sold all of its all shares in Tribeco (TRI), a troubled drink company which has posted consistent losses since 2008 (Taiwan’s Uni-President is in talks to aquire TRI’s assets). Though the disposals have a temporary negative effect on profitability, KDC’s management believes that they will free up resources so that the company can focus on its existing business categories and expand into new, more profitable ones in the long run.

Maintain HOLD. We expect sales to grow 20% in FY12, thanks to the seasonal sales during the mooncake festival and year-end holidays. KDC’s earnings should grow by 18% as gross margin rises to 41% on an improved product mix. The company’s valuation of around 15x FY12 PER is in line with its regional peers and at a premium of about 20% to the Vietnam market. One caveat is that despite its stated intention of focusing on its core food businesses, KDC continues to invest in its three existing real estate projects, although our understanding is that there will not be any new real estate projects in the future.

Philippines Economics 24 August 2012

Economic Focus Government’s spending spree continues

July expenditures increased 21%. Spending by the national government has been robust this year in contrast with 2011. The trend was sustained in July as total expenditures grew 21.8% YoY to PHP162.6b, the fastest rate this year. More importantly, net of interest payments, expenditures rose 20.6% to PHP111.3b, second only to March’s increase of 25.6%. This brought spending less interest payments in 7M12 to PHP756.7b, up 15.2% compared with a decline of 10.7% in 7M11 (Figure 1). According to the budget secretary, infrastructure spending for the year jumped over 60% while maintenance and other operating expenditures climbed more than 30%.

Budget deficit remains a non-issue. Despite robust spending, the budget deficit for July of PHP39.2b brought the national government’s 7M12 total deficit to only PHP73.7b, way below the target PHP183.3b for 9M12. This was because revenues grew 15.3% in July to PHP123.3b and 12.1% PHP884.2b in 7M12. The official target deficit this year is 2.6% of GDP or PHP280b. But given the progress thus far on collections and expenditures, it is likely the actual deficit this year will be lower than the official target as well as our forecast of PHP257b or 2.4% of GDP. In 2011, the budget deficit was PHP197.8b, 2% of GDP.

First asset sale in Aquino administration. The probability of a lower-than-expected budget deficit is heightened by the favorable outcome of the Aquino government’s first asset sale. This was the auction in mid-August of 74 hectares in the Food Terminal Inc complex which was awarded to blue chip property developer Ayala Land Inc (ALI – HOLD). The winning bid of PHP24.3b was more than double the reserve price of PHP10.2b. The government likely will receive PHP19.5b in October and the balance a year after. The property sale was notable not only for the substantial surplus over the government’s minimum price but also that a winner emerged after two failed auctions, the last in 2009. Proceeds of the sale will go to the Department of Agrarian Reform and the Department of Agriculture.

Government spending to bolster domestic demand. In 1Q12, real GDP growth of 6.4% YoY was aided by government spending, up a nominal 14.6%. Although 2Q12 nominal spending was slightly slower at 13.5%, we believe it will continue to contribute to healthy 2Q12 GDP growth, which we forecast at 6%. We expect sustained government spending to bolster overall economic activity for the rest of the year even as the economy faces headwinds from stagnant global economic growth that is likely to weigh down on exports. Already, merchandise exports in nominal US dollars slowed to 4.2% YoY in June to USD4.3b, slower than the 19.7% spike in May. The caveat though is that as government spending started to pick up in 2H11 (Figure 2), YoY growth rates for public expenditures in 2H12 may slow when compared with 1H12.
