During 2007 the industry’s capital expenditure declined substantially compared to 2006, primarily as a result of uncertainty regarding the outcome of the MIDP review process.  Planned investments for 2008 show some recovery, however, invariably projections tend to be higher than eventual actuals.

Regards,
Vermeulen
