The current economic background indicates the need for changes in all sectors, especially in the retail sector. Supply chain<\/strong> agents forecast an end of year with declines in sales to final consumers<\/strong>, which would be the first decline in 12 years, as reported by Estad\u00e3o<\/a>, on October 4, 2015. As calculated by the National Confederation of Trade (CNC), sales in the restricted retail (which includes vehicles and construction materials) should fall more than 4 percent. This calculation is made based on the forecast for this year, comparing it to the performance of December 2014.<\/p>\n
