We are pleased to present the fourth quarterly edition of The
Deloitte Consumer Tracker Q2 2012, a forward-looking economic
update, focusing on consumer spending attitudes and behaviours
based on our proprietary consumer survey and predictive
analysis.
Our Tracker provides you with detailed insight into the patterns
of consumer spending on a category-by-category basis and looks into
the underlying drivers of spending behaviour.
Key findings
The Deloitte Consumer Tracker shows consumers have become more
positive about spending on discretionary items, a shift that seems
to reflect recent sharp falls in inflation.
Although still weak, consumer sentiment shows tentative signs
of improvement. Consumer sentiment in disposable income remains
negative but less so than at any time in the last year.
Consumers plan to continue reducing debt and rebuilding balance
sheets.
A continued downtrend in inflation should provide more support
for a still fragile consumer over the coming months.
