INFLATION: ITS IMPACT ON RETAIL TRADING

Abstract

The impact of inflation on the trading of food retailers in North America shows itself in various ways: in store closures, in the rise of independent retailer strength, in polarisation of store sizes and in the targeting of marketing efforts. These are the major consequences of inflation which Richard Currie, speaking at the CIES annual executive congress last year, pinpointed. Although looking specifically at the North American scene, his paper has relevance to the European situation, especially in his references to the marked effect on inflation that even a small change in productivity may have.
