INTRODUCTION

Enjoys its position of technological, military, and economic superiority
5
Trump’s government has boosted the economy
The U.S. is the world’s leading economic and military power. Its
GDP accounts for as much as 25% of the world’s total, and its
military budget exceeds the combined sum of the rest of the
world. Although China has energetically challenged the country’s
economic, military, and technological dominance over the last two
decades, the U.S. remains at the global forefront by a wide margin.
In fact, the presidential administration of Donald Trump and his
protectionist trade policies and tax reforms have only
strengthened the country’s position. From a technological as well
as quantitative standpoint, the U.S. also dominates the film
production industry, with Hollywood generating the most revenue
in comparison to other countries active in this sector.
▪ The 2007 global economic crisis that originated in the U.S. was
mainly caused by the collapse of the housing market.
▪ The National Football League (NFL) is the most popular
professional sports league in the country.
▪ The U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in a budget
deficit and increase in public debt.
▪ Barack Obama was the country’s first African-American
President.

COVID-19 outbreak: How the U.S. could be affected
6 Source: NBC News, Economic Times, International Monetary Fund 2020, Statista, July 2020
How will COVID-19 influence the U.S. economy?
At the end of March, the U.S. registered the highest number of COVID-
19 infections and deaths worldwide. As the pandemic spreads, the U.S.
economy is expected to take a correspondingly large hit: experts predict
that COVID-19-related repercussions will surpass those of the 9/11
attacks or the 2008 financial crisis.
Although the federal government did not call for a nationwide lockdown,
most states issued stay-at-home orders. As more and more people
stayed indoors, the retail, hospitality, food service, and aviation
industries were adversely affected. The oil and gas sector, which was
already reeling from low global prices, is expected to decline even
further. Moreover, the cancelation of large-scale events (i.e., music
festivals and sports, which play major roles in the economy) will have a
lasting and widespread financial impact. The sports industry, for
example, generates revenues of approximately US$70 billion annually or
roughly 15% of global revenues. Unemployment levels will skyrocket: the
Bank of America’s original estimate of 3.5% jumped to 15% within a
matter of weeks. During the last two weeks of March, nearly ten million
people in the country filed for unemployment benefits — more than
number of people who did so over the last 10 months.
The government has signed the largest-ever stimulus package valuing
US$2 trillion, which aims to enable direct payments to individuals and
companies in urgent need.
COVID-19 is expected to have a larger impact than the September 11th attacks or the 2008 financial crisis

Inflation1 and central bank interest rates2,3
Economic conditions: inflation and interest rates
1: Percent change in annual average consumer prices 2: Monetary policy-related interest rate, percent per annum 3: Data is not available for
every year
Source: International Monetary Fund 2020
The inflation rate is projected to increase from 2019
to 2021
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 into savings means less disposable income. This results in slower economy and decreased inflation. Inflation levels are
estimated after 2019 by the IMF. Due to the high degree of uncertainty in current global economic conditions, the IMF forecast of the inflation rate is
only provided until 2021.

RISK INDEXES

42
The risk/reward indexes by Fitch Solutions constitute a comparative
regional ranking system that classifies different markets by the ease of
doing business there as well as operational risks and limitations faced by
potential investors. 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 in regard to 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, and crime, including cybercrime and
organized crime

▪ The Human Development Index was
created to emphasize that people and
their capabilities should be the ultimate
criteria for assessing the development
of a country, not economic growth
alone.
▪ The index is a summary measure of
average achievement in key dimensions
of human development: a long and
healthy life, being knowledgeable, and
having a decent standard of living.

The grocery structure in the USA is characterized by hypermarkets, convenience stores, discounters and handcarts.
Consumers in the USA value hypermarkets because of their great product variety. While people in the past tend to value low prices, but during the past
years more consumers have moved to higher priced goods. For instance, some consumers make use of "crop share" programs where individuals
receive a box of fresh fruits and vegetables on a set schedule.
Additionally, it is quite common for consumers in urbanized areas to order groceries online and have them delivered by the weekends.

Assessment of the U.S. shopper Explanations
Low High
Low High
Low High
Low
▪ Substantial customer potential due to a large population with high
internet and eCommerce penetration rates
▪ Rather low growth potential due to already very high penetration
levels
▪ In all product categories, low-priced products are more important to
U.S. consumers than premium products
▪ Low-priced products are more important to U.S. shoppers than to
Chinese shoppers
▪ Premium products are especially relevant in Clothing and Shoes –
but still not as important as low-priced products in these categories
▪ In most categories, premium products are less relevant to U.S.
consumers than to Chinese online shoppers
▪ Smartphones are the No. 1 device for online shopping in the U.S.
▪ U.S. consumers have used their smartphone for online shopping
more often than shoppers in China have done
▪ In Clothing, 25% of U.S. consumers have sent back an article after
having ordered it online
▪ Return behavior is similar in the U.S. and in China across all categories

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 Freedom House, the International Foundation for Electoral Systems, and Statista itself. The data 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 is presented in U.S. dollars and maintains the growth rates of the real GDP series. The data is expressed in the base year of each
country‘s national accounts, and the year is specified for each country. For more information, please refer to the FAQ section of the World Economic
Outlook Database.
Difference between current and constant US$
Data reported in current US$ reflects the value that the currency has in a specific year. The current data series is 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$ reflects the value of a currency in a specified 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
Data related to country-specific business cultures was collected between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to obtain reliable insights into
business cultures for each country, only individuals with business experience in their respective countries were included in the survey.
The survey sample consisted of 381 participants and a total of 127 countries. Due to the small sample size, the information presented in this report
gives the reader a subjective, approximate impression of the business culture in a country and cannot always be generalized.
Statista Fact Check
The Statista Fact Check of international retail structures was carried out between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to collect information about
the national retail characteristics, only people living in the country of interest were asked to participate in the Fact Check.
The Statista Fact Check included 254 participants and covered 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 and cannot always be generalized.
Determination of retail market development stages
The development stages of retail markets were identified based on the specific features of each individual retail market. In cases in which 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 payment options
do not yet incorporate smartphones and only include traditional and electronic methods (indicator for a maturing market), Egypt was assigned an early
well-developed retail market stage.

  • 5. Enjoys its position of technological, military, and economic superiority 5 Trump’s government has boosted the economy The U.S. is the world’s leading economic and military power. Its GDP accounts for as much as 25% of the world’s total, and its military budget exceeds the combined sum of the rest of the world. Although China has energetically challenged the country’s economic, military, and technological dominance over the last two decades, the U.S. remains at the global forefront by a wide margin. In fact, the presidential administration of Donald Trump and his protectionist trade policies and tax reforms have only strengthened the country’s position. From a technological as well as quantitative standpoint, the U.S. also dominates the film production industry, with Hollywood generating the most revenue in comparison to other countries active in this sector. ▪ The 2007 global economic crisis that originated in the U.S. was mainly caused by the collapse of the housing market. ▪ The National Football League (NFL) is the most popular professional sports league in the country. ▪ The U.S.-led wars in Iraq and Afghanistan resulted in a budget deficit and increase in public debt. ▪ Barack Obama was the country’s first African-American President. The U.S. dominates global markets Source: BBC, Deloitte, Forbes
  • 6. COVID-19 outbreak: How the U.S. could be affected 6 Source: NBC News, Economic Times, International Monetary Fund 2020, Statista, July 2020 How will COVID-19 influence the U.S. economy? At the end of March, the U.S. registered the highest number of COVID- 19 infections and deaths worldwide. As the pandemic spreads, the U.S. economy is expected to take a correspondingly large hit: experts predict that COVID-19-related repercussions will surpass those of the 9/11 attacks or the 2008 financial crisis. Although the federal government did not call for a nationwide lockdown, most states issued stay-at-home orders. As more and more people stayed indoors, the retail, hospitality, food service, and aviation industries were adversely affected. The oil and gas sector, which was already reeling from low global prices, is expected to decline even further. Moreover, the cancelation of large-scale events (i.e., music festivals and sports, which play major roles in the economy) will have a lasting and widespread financial impact. The sports industry, for example, generates revenues of approximately US$70 billion annually or roughly 15% of global revenues. Unemployment levels will skyrocket: the Bank of America’s original estimate of 3.5% jumped to 15% within a matter of weeks. During the last two weeks of March, nearly ten million people in the country filed for unemployment benefits — more than number of people who did so over the last 10 months. The government has signed the largest-ever stimulus package valuing US$2 trillion, which aims to enable direct payments to individuals and companies in urgent need. COVID-19 is expected to have a larger impact than the September 11th attacks or the 2008 financial crisis Adjusted GDP forecast in million US$ in the U.S. 20.559.747 18.914.968 2019 2020 20,989,199 -8.0% Original 2020 forecast COVID-19 forecast

  • 19. 19 Inflation1 and central bank interest rates2,3 Economic conditions: inflation and interest rates 1: Percent change in annual average consumer prices 2: Monetary policy-related interest rate, percent per annum 3: Data is not available for every year Source: International Monetary Fund 2020 The inflation rate is projected to increase from 2019 to 2021 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 into savings means less disposable income. This results in slower economy and decreased inflation. Inflation levels are estimated after 2019 by the IMF. Due to the high degree of uncertainty in current global economic conditions, the IMF forecast of the inflation rate is only provided until 2021. 2017 2020 2012 2018 2021 2008 2016 2013 2019 2010 2011 2014 0.1% -0.3% 3.8% 0.1% 0.1% 0.1% 3.1% 1.6% 0.1% 0.1% 0.6% 2.1% 0.6% 1.6% 0.1% 1.5% 0.1% 0.4% 1.3% 2.1% 1.4% 2.4% 2.4% 1.8% 1.6% 2.2% Central bank interest rates Inflation

  • 42. 42 The risk/reward indexes by Fitch Solutions constitute a comparative regional ranking system that classifies different markets by the ease of doing business there as well as operational risks and limitations faced by potential investors. 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 in regard to 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, and crime, including cybercrime and organized crime Methodology Note: THIS COMMENTARY IS PUBLISHED BY FITCH SOLUTIONS MACRO RESEARCH and is NOT a comment on Fitch Ratings' credit ratings.

It can be used to compare economy sizes across countries. The data in this report is presented in U.S. dollars and maintains the growth rates of the real GDP series. The data is expressed in the base year of each country‘s national accounts, and the year is specified for each country. For more information, please refer to the FAQ section of the World Economic Outlook Database. Difference between current and constant US$ Data reported in current US$ reflects the value that the currency has in a specific year. The current data series is 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$ reflects the value of a currency in a specified 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. Data description and methods (1/2) Methodology and data used in this report
  • 87. 87 Business culture data Data related to country-specific business cultures was collected between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to obtain reliable insights into business cultures for each country, only individuals with business experience in their respective countries were included in the survey. The survey sample consisted of 381 participants and a total of 127 countries. Due to the small sample size, the information presented in this report gives the reader a subjective, approximate impression of the business culture in a country and cannot always be generalized. Statista Fact Check The Statista Fact Check of international retail structures was carried out between January 5 and February 19, 2019. In order to collect information about the national retail characteristics, only people living in the country of interest were asked to participate in the Fact Check. The Statista Fact Check included 254 participants and covered 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 and cannot always be generalized. Determination of retail market development stages The development stages of retail markets were identified based on the specific features of each individual retail market. In cases in which 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 payment options do not yet incorporate smartphones and only include traditional and electronic methods (indicator for a maturing market), Egypt was assigned an early well-developed retail market stage.
