Ernst and Young/BER retail survey

Date: 2012 - Quarter 3
Document Type: Ernst and Young/BER retail survey
Description: A brisk and simply-written quarterly that fills you in on the results of our latest market research on the behavior of SA consumers
   
Title: Retail Survey Report, 2012Q3
   

Having plunged from +5 index points in 2012Q1 to -3 index points in 2012Q2, the latest survey results indicate that the FNB/BER CCI edged up to -1 during 2012Q3. The slight improvement in consumer confidence was mirrored in the E&Y/BER Retail Survey - the BER retail business confidence index increased by 7 index points to end at a level of 46 during 2012Q2 on the back of improved performances in the durable and semi-durable goods categories. Looking ahead, relatively low consumer confidence levels, rising prices and subdued growth in real disposable income will likely weigh on household consumption expenditure during the final quarter of 2012.
