Pump Markets are impacted by Oil Prices
Our Pumps World Market has been just
revised to take into account the fall in oil prices. At the same time, we have
included the multi-billion dollar artificial lift pump segment. So the totals
are actually up rather than down. But the various components are clearly
delineated. Exploration related pump revenues will be down but other oil
and gas pump revenues will be less impacted. The market for pumps for gas
turbine combined cycle plants will be positively impacted. We track all
the projects in

AMERICAS
Cuba
Alfonso Morre has spent nine years studying mechanics and civil engineering in
order to become — a Havana taxi driver. Following President Barack Obama’s
decision to ease the embargo on Cuba, he is hoping for something better.
Driving a 26-year-old Russian-made Lada through the cobbled streets of Cuba’s
capital, Morre says he needs his engineering degree just to keep the car on the
road. That may be about to change.
“Hopefully, once the U.S. trade opens up, companies will come here looking for
engineers,” Morre, 33, said. “Once the new cars and spare parts start coming in,
you won’t need to be an engineer to run a taxi here.”
Morre is one of the army of university-educated Cubans stuck in manual jobs such
as hotel laundry or waiting tables. Their skills will be a big draw for
companies looking for investment opportunities in the island should the U.S.
agree to end the trade embargo that started in 1961, said Philip Brenner, a
professor of international relations at American University in Washington.
“The Cuban development model is going to be based on high value-added production
by an educated population,” Brenner said. “No one in Cuba is talking about a
future scenario of making baseballs in sweatshops. They have people who would be
adept in pharmaceuticals, computer engineering and advanced mechanical
machinery.”
Cuba’s economic growth has slowed to 1.3% this year, almost half the official
target and down from 2.7% in 2013, according to government data.
Obama and Cuban President Raul Castro announced the plans to re-establish
diplomatic ties, release some prisoners and work to ease a five-decade old
embargo on Dec. 17.
Laundry lady Lucila Gomez, 62, hopes the move will lead to the re-opening of the
pajama factory she used to supervise in Havana. After getting a degree at Moscow
State Textile University and working in Bulgaria, Gomez now irons tourist shirts
in the Havana Libre hotel.
“Hopefully I won’t have to end my career doing laundry,” she said.
Decades of Soviet investment in Cuba’s education system have brought universal
literacy to the island, with about 100,000 people trained at Russian and
Ukrainian universities out of a population of 11.3 million.
Eighty percent of college-aged Cubans were enrolled in post-secondary education
in 2011, the highest in Latin America and the Caribbean, compared with 75% in
Argentina, 71% in Chile and 29% for Mexico, according to the United Nations.
There is a special focus on hard sciences like medicine and engineering, an
investment in human capital that has helped the country stay afloat since the
end of subsidies from the Soviet Union. About 30,000 Cuban doctors work in
Venezuela to help pay for the approximately 100,000 barrels a day of oil the
South American country supplied to Cuba in 2013.
In the central province of Cienfuegos, Brazilian contractor Helio Piza is
supervising 60 Cuban workers running a 30-year-old sugar plant without any spare
parts.
“The level of academic preparation here is very high,” Piza said in an interview
in his office in the Fifth of September plant on Dec. 29. “Education allows
Cubans to be ingenious with the little they have available.”…

ASIA
Singapore
The city-state’s economy expanded less than economists’ estimated last quarter
after its manufacturing industry weakened with slowing growth in China and an
uneven global recovery.
Gross domestic product rose an annualized 1.6% in the three months to Dec 31
from the previous quarter, when it expanded 3.1%, the trade ministry said in a
statement. The median of five estimates in a Bloomberg News survey was for a 3%
expansion.
Singapore's productivity growth has been weak, Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong
said on Dec 31, and the trade ministry has said the economic outlook for 2015 is
"modest" with a tight labor market restraining some industries. The
export-dependent island is also adjusting to a China on track to record its
weakest full-year growth in almost a quarter century, even as the US saw its
biggest expansion in more than a decade in the third quarter.
"It caps a pretty moderate year for growth," said Michael Wan, a Singapore-based
economist at Credit Suisse Group AG, who predicts the Southeast Asian nation
will expand 3.5% in 2015. "China's slowing, Japan's pretty moribund, Europe's
still essentially going nowhere," with only the U.S. providing some relief in
the global economy…(The remaining text is not included in this sample.)
EUROPE / AFRICA / MIDDLE EAST
United Kingdom
The United Kingdom has overtaken France to become the fifth largest economy in
the world after the money made from prostitution and drugs was counted in the
GDP figure for the first time.
Britain's economy is expected to be worth a total £1.86trillion in 2014 - up
from £1.63trillion the previous year - compared to £1.82trillion in France, new
calculations reveal.
Government figures show that prostitution added about £4.3billion to the economy
while illegal drugs provided a roughly £6.7billion boost.
The darker corners of the economy are now being counted - alongside traditional
sectors such as farming and financial services - as part of an overhaul in the
way economic activity is measured
This year is the first time that the GDP - an economic estimate produced every
three months by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) - has included the
money made from illegal drugs and sex work.
The change, which was introduced as part of EU rules implemented earlier this
year, means that a booming sex trade or an expansion in the market for illegal
drugs can boost the Chancellor's outlook.
These more inclusive figures edged the nation ahead of France in world rankings
when they were used in calculations of the size of the UK's economy…(The
remaining text is not included in this sample.)
