Dear Colleague,
   
The impact of the credit crunch has led to a reversal in fortunes for much of the EU retail sector. Most consumers in the EU have reached the peak of private indebtedness; with unemployment rates rising, consumer confidence dipping, consumer credit becomes increasingly hard to get hold of. Less debt financed consumption means that the EU is now entering a phase of contracting economic activity. This
will impact and hurt the housing market, stock exchanges and retailing hard. Most countries with the exception of France, Greece, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovenia and Sweden showed a significant
easing in monthly retail growth towards the end of 2008.
