Higher Household
Consumption
Families are buying this
year at a faster rate
than at any time before
in the last 10 years.
People standing in line
at supermarket cash
registers and the
inability to find space
in parking lots at
shopping centers confirm
the trend.
It is also confirmed by
import statistics,
business sales, and
estimated spending per
household.
According to the
business sector, this is
a trend that started in
2005 and has continued
steadily to the present.
According to the Central
Bank’s monthly index of
economic activity, the
business sector expanded
5.5 percent in the last
12 months. |
