The document summarizes trends in the Australian retail sector from 2008-2013. Retail sales and consumer sentiment increased steadily from the global financial crisis. Major developments included $7 billion in new construction projects, growing foreign investment reaching $3 billion by 2012, and stable commercial real estate yields entering 2013 with record low interest rates supporting consumer spending. The key takeaways were continued confidence in the Australian retail market from developers, retailers improving strategies as international retailers expanded, and a stable economy with population growth.
