DUBLIN--(Business Wire)--
Research and Markets
(http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/564629/uk_retail_futures) has
announced the addition of the "UK Retail Futures 2013: Retail and the Economy"
report to their offering.

This report gives an authoritative analysis and five year forecast of key
economic indicators, assessing their influence on demand and impact on the
consumer economy. The report looks at GDP, interest rates, unemployment,
earnings & disposable income, inflation, the housing market, consumer confidence
and savings ratio, providing a comprehensive assessment of the economy and its
impact on retail.

Scope:

* Insight into key economic indicators - such as GDP, interest rates,
unemployment, earnings and inflation
* Analyst insight provides an overview of key economic factors and how this will
impact on retail growth.
* Economic forecasts to 2013 will help identify when the UK economy is expected
to recover from the recession.

Highlights:

The economy has stalled and is now firmly in the depths of a recession, which
will be protracted and painful. Lower economic growth is impacting consumers'
ability to spend, dampening demand, creating surplus capacity and pushing down
prices. The recession is set to be worse than that of the early 1990s.

As the economy contracts, the number of people out of work will rise sharply.
Unemployment will peak in 2010, by which time an estimated 3.2m people will be
out of work. Job losses are beginning to spread out to services and
manufacturing. With higher unemployment comes a reduced willingness to spend
among those still in work.

2008 saw rising prices across all areas of the economy and lower than average
pay settlements. This meant that real disposable income growth was minimal at
best. Though some inflationary pressures remain in food, in 2009 overall prices
are coming down, while mortgage costs have fallen for many.

Reasons to Purchase:

* Identify the key economic drivers during the recession and how these will
impact retail sales growth.
* Use analyst insight and commentary to identify the main threats and
opportunities over the next five years.
* Enhance your understanding of key issues, trends, and dynamics in the market,
providing a valuable tool to help steer through turbulent times ahead
