Environment
Environment Socio Economic Challenging socio-political and economic environment: More jobs shed in agriculture and mining; manufacturing showing signs of improvement Consumer income available for retail spend under pressure Lower income consumers affected more than higher income consumers Costs of unsecured credit are increasing Energy, water and other basic costs continue to rise faster than CPI Effects of labour unrest filtering through the economy GDP growth is positive
Environment Competitive Retail The trading environment in 2012 remained tough With rising inflation, the general consumer is still under pressure Retailers are relying on market share gains for growth New battleground is for servicing the lower income consumer - there have been winners and losers Slow economic growth is also forcing the consumer to consider how they spend their money
Environment Competitive Retail - Massmart Increasing food inflation helped the food business Moved from deflation to inflation stabilizing general merchandise Investment in homes assisting Massbuild Wholesale food landscape changing has affected Masscash New food retail business growing fast; but at lower profitability Africa becoming more competitive
