Extrapolating annual services export figures, and assuming pharma exports will be down by only 5bn for 2012 (based on H1 results), services exports may indeed take up the slack. But then services exports must continue to rise at the same strong rate as last year. Given the fact that last year, 55% of the growth in services was accounted for by a single sector, computer services (growing at a rate of over 14%), we may want to keep an eye on developments in this sector as well.chris van egeraatnoreply@blogger.com
