A SpendingPulse report released today by MasterCard Advisors, the
professional services arm of MasterCard (NYSE:MA), provided total retail
sales (excluding automotive) results for December 2012. Excluding auto sales, total retail sales grew by 2.4% year-over-year.
Slow spending on gasoline and some holiday related sectors contributed
to December's slower growth rate. Taking out both autos and gasoline,
retail spending grew at a slightly stronger 2.8% year-over-year. This is
down from total retail sales (ex. auto) growth of 4.5% in November.
