A gentle moderation in China’s headline retail spending growth conceals multiple upheavals beneath the surface. Tastes and shopping habits are in flux as consumers rein in purchases of luxury items overseas, become more discerning at home and prioritise spending on their health, families and experiences, recent studies show. 中国整体零售消费增长的温和放缓，掩盖了表面之下的多重动荡。近期几项研究显示，品味和购物习惯正在变化，消费者在海外收敛了奢侈品购买，在国内变得更加挑剔，同时对自己的健康、家庭和体验优先安排支出。 Overall growth in discretionary spending was likely to continue moderating in March, according to a survey by the FTConfidential Research unit at the Financial Times. This would follow a 10.2 per cent year-on-year growth in retail sales in the first two months of the year, down from a full-year 10.7 per cent in 2017 and 12 per cent in 2017. 英国《金融时报》旗下“投资参考”(FT Confidential Research)的一项调查显示，可自由支配支出的总体增长很可能在3月份继续放缓。此前，今年头两个月零售销售同比增长10.2%，低于10.7%的2017年全年增幅和12%的2017年增幅。 |
