Retailing in South Africa - New Market Study Published

Retailers' performance in 2014 mirrored the country's economic situation. Macro and socio-economic factors such as the rising cost of utilities and fuel, labour riots, coupled with the falling exchange value of the South African rand contributed to the challenging economic environment. As a result of the aforementioned factors, consumer income and spending remained under significant pressure, which weighed heavily on retailers' performances.
