Highlights

Another difficult year ahead.

* Even with soft comparatives growth set to be weak, and continue to be so.
* Retailers are going to have to work much harder to win share of consumer spending.

Non-food growth weak.

* Within non food only clothing & footwear and health & beauty are expected to see any growth in Q2…
* … driven by inflation, with the return of VAT to 17.5%.
* Weakness of sterling and high cotton costs place further inflationary pressures.

Easing food inflation dents overall growth.
