When interest rates are low, individuals and businesses tend to take more loans. Each bank loan increases the money supply in a fractional reserve banking system. According to the quantity theory of money, a growing money supply increases inflation. Thus, a lower interest rate tends to result in a higher inflation. High interest rates tend to lower inflation. Consumers tend to save when interest rates are higher, as returns from savings are higher. More money put aside to savings means less disposable income. This results in slower economy and decreased inflation. Forecasts for interest rates are based on latest historical value in a no-change model3. Inflation levels are estimated after 2017 by the IMF.

FITCH SOLUTIONS RISK INDICES

▪ Methodology
▪ Development
▪ High and low performer
▪ Global and regional comparison
42
The risk/reward indices by Fitch Solutions are a comparative regional ranking system that classifies different markets by the ease of doing business there and operational risks and limitations that potential investors face. The operational risk index uses quantitative measures to compare the challenges of operating in 201 countries worldwide. The index attributes scores between 0-100 to each country, with 100 being the lowest risk.
The index focuses on four main risk areas:
▪ Labor market: evaluation of the risks surrounding the size, education levels and costs of employing workers in a country
▪ Logistics: evaluation of the quality and extent of the transport infrastructure, the ease of trading, and the quality and availability of utilities
▪ Trade & investment: evaluation of the openness of an economy, the level of government intervention and the quality and efficacy of the legal environment
▪ Crime & security: evaluation of operating conditions with respect to interstate conflict risk, terrorism, crime, including cybercrime and organized crime

The grocery structure in the UK is characterized by hypermarkets, convenience stores, discounters and handcarts.
People are more inclined to buy groceries in supermarkets such as Tesco, Asda, Lidl etc. One reason for buying groceries from supermarkets is the availability and variation of product types under one roof, and they can also buy other non-food items such as electronics, home, stationery, etc., from that same place and save the time and energy cost of travelling. People tend to do their grocery shopping on the weekends.

Data sources
The Statista Country Reports present quantitative data from various private and public sources of information. These sources include the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, the United Nations, the OECD, the World Economic Forum, the International Labour Organization, the CIA World Factbook, the Election Guide, the Freedom House, the Political Handbook of the World and Statista itself. The data sources are indicated in footnotes throughout the report.
Forecasts and estimates
Certain diagrams within this Country Report include estimates or forecast values for the years 2017 to 2058. Missing datapoints in time series are subjected to interpolation when necessary. Estimated values and their sources are indicated in footnotes throughout the report.
Real GDP calculation
A country's real GDP is an inflation-adjusted GDP assessment reflecting its net growth. It can be used to compare economy sizes across countries. The data in this report are presented in U.S. dollars and maintain the growth rates of the real GDP series. The data are expressed in the base year of each country's national accounts, the year is country specific. For more information please refer to World Economic Outlook Database FAQ.
Difference between current and constant US$
Data reported in current US$ reflect the value the currency has in a particular year. Current data series are influenced by the effect of price inflation and differences in exchange rates and the comparability of growth rates between countries is limited.
Data expressed in constant US$ reflect the value of a currency in a particular base year. The individual base year listed in a country’s national accounts differs from country to country. Constant series are used to measure the true growth of a series by adjusting for the effects of price inflation.

Business culture data
The data concerning the country-specific business cultures were collected between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to get reliable insights into the country-specific business cultures, solely people with business experience in the respective country were included in the survey.
The survey sample consists of 381 participants for a total of 127 countries. Due to the small sample size, the information presented in this report gives the reader a qualitative rough impression of the business culture in a country and cannot always be generalized.
Statista Fact Check
The Statista Fact Check of international retail and eCommerce structures was carried out between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to collect information about the national retail and eCommerce characteristics, only people living in the country of interest were asked to participate in the Fact Check.
The Statista Fact Check includes 254 participants and covers 127 countries worldwide. The information presented by the Statista Fact Check gives the reader an impression of the retail and eCommerce structures within the country, but cannot always be generalized.
Determination of retail market development stages
The development stages of the retail markets were identified based on the specific features of each individual retail market. In cases where only two out of three features qualified a country for a certain development stage, the country was placed in the transition zone or at the beginning of the higher development stage. For instance, in Egypt international chains operate in rural areas as well as medium-sized and large cities and the grocery market is characterized by international, national and independent store ownership (all indicators for a well-developed retail market). But since there is no possibility to pay via smartphones but only via traditional and electronic payment methods (indicator for a maturing market), Egypt was assigned an early well-developed retail market stage.
