All Countries and All Sectors

Malaysia is planning to broaden the mix of its energy sources in an effort to utilise alternative power generation processes to propel economic growth, with nuclear energy being promoted as one of the preferred solutions to the country's dependence on hydrocarbons.

Turkey's economy is well on the way to erasing memories of recession, posting solid growth from late 2009 onwards, though recent woes in neighbouring Greece and beyond will have many in Ankara casting a wary sidelong glance towards the West.

With Malaysia's economy having shrugged off the last vestiges of the global financial crisis and now looking to post strong growth for the year, the country's shipping and logistics industries are well placed to take advantage of the rising tide of prosperity.

Thailand's retail sector, which has been a leading force in the country's recovery from recession over the past two quarters, faces the risk of going off the boil if political unrest continues, with the threat of escalating antigovernment protests and rising tension undermining consumer confidence and whittling away at recent gains.

Indonesia's capital markets should be able to ride out the worst of the European debt crisis, backed by expectations of strong growth and solid levels of liquidity, though the Greek economic crisis is starting to reach the country's shores.
