BBVA Research anticipates that GDP will grow 1.7% this year. Private consumption was the main contributing factor behind last years gr
11、owth, with Brazil performing better than expected. However, the reduction in investments and strong inflationary pressures detracted from growth. This years growth forecast is conservative due to political risks and uncertainty about what lies ahead, given the number of presidential elections that a
12、re likely in many countries this year, as they can affect regional performance. 2018 will be challenging for Latin America, as many consumers believe that they are experiencing recessionary times (73% think that their country is in an economic recession). This sentiment will continue to affect spend
13、ing behavior, as many will focus on saving and increasing their purchasing at discount stores and less-expensive retail formats. However, there are pockets of growth and opportunities for manufacturers with the right focus. Opportunities include: Emerging channels (e.g., discounters) Optimization of
14、 trade spending Capitalizing on optimal pricing strategies for different brands As consumers continue to grow more connected and barriers to e-commerce fade, brands and manufacturers will need to clearly understand the role that digital will play in consumers path to purchase.

Overall sentiment toward job prospects and personal finances drove the decline. That said, however, 61% of Americans fe
27、el positively about their job prospects over the next year, although thats down three points from second-quarter 2017. Canadians, on the other hand, appear less optimistic about their personal finances. While 59% indicate they feel good about the state of their personal finances, this is five points
28、 below rates in the previous quarter. The economy remains a top concern across both nations, but to a lesser extent than we saw in 2016. Macro factors are still important, but many of the top rising concerns for consumers are more personal in nature. Pre-occupied with the micro effects of food price
29、s, health, debt and terrorism, consumers are keeping themselves and their families top of mind. With fierce competition across FMCG, messaging should speak to individuals and consider their current sentiment and concerns. Aligning products with the ideals of family, health and safety, or promoting y

Do not distribute. THE BIG PICTURE: AFRICA & MIDDLE EAST 2017 ended on a mixed note for many markets in Afric
36、a and the Middle East (AME), with growth less robust than previous years due to global financial headwinds. As a result, this caused commodity-reliant markets to implement severe measures to diversify and spur growth in other areas of their economies. These tactics are starting to pay dividends, as
37、early indicators point toward an upswing in the macro economic outlook and consumer sentiment in 2018. Inflationary pressure is easing in Egypt, Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya and South Africa, there is a lower incidence of consumers citing the economy as a top concern, and consumer confidence in six of the
38、eight AME countries is improving. In Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, however, indicators will take longer to normalize following the implementation of the value-added tax (VAT) and sugar tax. Taxation is new to consumers in these markets, and the compounded effect of both price changes wi
39、ll affect consumer spending, shopping dynamics and coping mechanisms for the next 12 to 18 months as consumers rebalance their baskets. As consumers move ahead in 2018 with a more positive mindset, this will slowly translate into retail sales turnaround. As a result, manufacturers and retailers need
40、 to be mindful of the key shopper approaches consumers are taking to manage their spending. 30 KEY TRENDS TO WATCH Overall, we see a number of key trends for manufacturers and retailers to be mindful of throughout 2018. Consumers are spending less, switching pack sized, alternating brands, searching
41、 for good promotions and shopping for value. With these in mind, strategies to entice consumer spend need to focus on: A portfolio of pack sizes to meet critical price/denomination points, ensuring larger, economical sizes offer significant value, and more popular mid-sized packs are widely accessib
42、le. Strategic quality and quantity of promotion based on brand elasticity/ responsiveness metrics to reward loyalty, minimizing subsidization and switching which erodes valuable equity. Defending premium product benefits and quality, to preserve share and brand equity. Reinforce superior advantages
43、with strong media support and unique retail activation. Continue to innovate as consumers appetite for unique and authentic products which meet their needs, is unlikely to diminish, but grow. Acknowledge consumers altered spending ability with messaging and media to match the mood. Demonstrate suppo
44、rt and innovation in meeting consumers altered circumstances. Focus on precise retail execution across top channels to optimize uninterrupted in-store availability and on-shelf visibility. 31 Copyright 2018 The Nielsen Company (US), LLC.
