About this Report

About this Report

The global economic downturn was thought to have passed, but although recovery in many markets is underway, economic and political uncertainty is escalating in others. The retail industry’s challenge has been to understand what constitutes the “new normal” in a post-recession retail environment and to develop retail strategies accordingly. However, as 2011 progresses, the global situation is worsening once more, and retailers’ focus must again turn to survival rather than development.
