Dear Friends,
"Although the trend in consumer spending clearly has slowed relativeto 2006, it is encouraging that in the face of increased headwinds,such as higher energy prices and increased worry about the housingmarkets, that consumers continue to spend modestly. October salesgrowth was 1.6 percent, the lowest monthly figure since 1995. We areforecasting a 2.5 percent year-over-year sales increase for November. "---Michael Niemira, chief economist and director of research International Council of Shopping Centers
Sincerely,
Shay Meshulam
