Retail Trade: 2009 Results and 2010 Outlook

Despite a significant decrease in sales in the retail sector in 2009 and the climate of uncertainty that currently prevails, the CQCD is nonetheless anticipating a 2% increase in retail sales in 2010.

Considering certain factors that will influence consumers’ behaviour and spending, the confidence index is high, which leads us to believe that consumers plan to make major purchases in the near future.

The survey on consumer spending trends in Quebec for the next 6 months, which will be presented in March, will be a barometer of consumers’ spending intentions for 2010.
