10 ECONOMIC DATA Economic Data Strong growth in wages and earnings was captured by high conversion rates for mixed fashion and premium retailers in Hong Kong. The economic situation in Hong Kong over the past year remained moderate. The economy grew by only 2.3% in 2014, down from 2.9% in Falling exports, reduced tourist spending and weak domestic demand are potential reasons for this slow performance. However the labour market remained strong, with the unemployment rate staying low at 3.3% (Q4 2014). The Australian economy recorded below-trend growth and, due to an ageing population and increasing youth unemployment, employment figures continued to struggle. However, consumers remained confident with wages increasing; Australian average weekly earnings increased +2.1% over 2014, which is reflected in the highest conversion rate for mid-market retailers and a +5.2% annual increase in conversion Extra disposable income led to a 7.3% increase in annual conversion for premium retailers in Singapore. Median monthly household income from work rose from $7,870 in 2013 to $8,290 in 2014, a 5.3% increase in nominal terms, or 4.1% increase in real terms. Page 49

11 ECONOMIC DATA China s worsening economic condition contributed it having the lowest conversion rate for mixed, mid-market and premium retailers in the region. The region s economic growth slowed to 7.4% in 2014, the lowest level seen in 20 years, firmly marking the end of an era of buoyed global demand for everything from iron ore to designer handbags. Japan s retail conversion rates saw annual retail trade decline a massive -10.2%. Weak growth of 0.5% in 2014 can be attributed to the April consumption tax increase. Page 10 4

12 ECONOMIC DATA Rising UK employment and house prices supported consumer spending growth, which is reflected in the UK having the highest conversion for mid-market retailers. The UK economy grew by 2.6% in 2014 as a whole, which is the fastest rate seen since 2007 and the strongest growth rate in the G7. Germany saw gross domestic product expand 1.5% in 2014, which is its strongest rate since 2011 and is well above growth of 0.1% in However the Ukrainian conflict, the sanctions imposed against Russia and the chance of deflation led to falling confidence in Germany. Hence Germany suffered the lowest conversion rate for mid-market retailers. Ireland s economy displayed a rapid growth, falling unemployment, increased consumer confidence and improved public finances in This has greatly benefited premium retailers, which have the highest conversion rate in Europe and the USA. Page 11 4

13 ECONOMIC DATA Italian and French retailers struggled to convert the mixed market shopper. France s unemployment rate remained stubbornly high, just below 11%, and the economy in 2014 was still slightly smaller than it was at the beginning of the global financial crisis. Italy, meanwhile, saw unemployment increase constantly over the last seven years - reaching 12.5% in 2013, which is the highest level on record. Even though corporate profits and the stock market have hit alltime highs, the typical family isn t bringing home more than they did 15 years ago, President Obama said in his December 2014 address. Below average conversion for mixed market shoppers and premium retailers saw conversion rates fall -7.3% on the year. This was further reinforced by the responsiveness of value shoppers who converted at five points above overall conversion for Europe and the USA. Page 12 4
