Retail sales will grow at rates of 4% to 5.5% annually in 2014-18 in real terms, lower than in the past, owing to weaker GDP growth. Household consumption will still be supported by job and income gains, but credit expansion will play a smaller role as households became more indebted following a consumer-credit binge.
A reduction in poverty has increased the lower-middle income class, adding to the number of consumers with a greater disposable income. Consumption will be boosted by the staging of the FIFA 2014 World Cup and Rio Summer Olympics in 2016.
