This was the sharpest drop registered by retail since the survey was created 16 years ago. <\/p>\n<p>The previous worst result was registered in 2002 due to the energy crisis, when retail fell 4.9%. Serasa&rsquo;s economists explain that difficulties faced by consumers such as high interest rates, high unemployment rate and low confidence, all impacted retail activity negatively. <\/p>\n<p>The sharpest decline was registered by the car, motorcycle and parts sector, with a drop of 13% against the same period of last year. The second worst result was with fabric stores, apparel, footwear and accessories, with a 12.6% drop. Furniture stores, electronics and computer equipment sectors declined 11.1%. <\/p>\n<p>More moderate drops occurred with home depot stores (-5.4%) and supermarkets, hypermarkets, food and beverages (-7.0%). Only the fuel and lubricants sector had a positive result with an increase of 1.8%.<\/p>\n<p><strong>*Translated by S&eacute;rgio Kakitani<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to consulting firm Serasa Experian, number of consumers in stores throughout Brazil fell 6.6% over 2015.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2315,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[91],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-56134","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-economy"},"wps_subtitle":"According to consulting firm Serasa Experian, number of consumers in stores throughout Brazil fell 6.6% over 2015.","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56134","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2315"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=56134"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/56134\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=56134"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=56134"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/anba.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=56134"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
