When tomorrow never comes
Series: Property Forecast ; 4(10) October 2001, 2(2)Publication details: 2001Subject(s): Summary: Discusses the current trends in the retail market. Notes that the retail sector has fared badly recently but the major players are performing better. Argues that consumer spending is set to slow over the coming months but not so sharply as in the early 1990s. Conditions in retail markets appear to be reasonably benign, the greatest possible threat coming from government policy towards motorists with proposals to charge them for entering major cities. Investor focus on larger markets is unlikely to change with a general concentration of retail activities continuing. Any recession would almost certainly end with fewer major players and even larger market shares.| Item type | Current library | Call number | Copy number | Status | Barcode | |
