OREANDA-NEWS. April 28, 2015. Fitch Ratings has published its Brazilian Retail Dashboard.

This Dashboard explores key topics affecting the credit profiles of the major players within the Brazilian retail industry. Fitch believes Brazilian retailers are about to experience the toughest macroeconomic scenario in the last 10 years. The combination of persistently high inflation, increasing interest rates and a rising unemployment rate will challenge retailers' performance in the medium term. In Fitch's view, company credit indicators will deteriorate, but still remain manageable.

A complete review of these topics is included in the dashboard available at www.fitchratings.com
