China Luxury: Bank Card Spend Continues to Slow
Analyzing bank card data we show the slowdown in total spend on the Chinese luxury sector has accelerated in Q4. Data also shows a shift to higher-priced luxury items. In the past, changes in the spend index has closely mirrored revenue inflections for luxury companies in the region.
