Although consumption will remain a drag on the recovery in 2014, subtracting an estimated 0.1pp from growth (from 1.2pp in 2013), we expect the smaller deduction to reflect the private sector's progress paying down debts. On the household front however, deleveraging has only just begun. Much of the required deleveraging is an overhang from the bursting of the Spain's property bubble, where households are struggling to reduce the huge amount of mortgage debt that weighs on personal finances. This means more sluggish growth for the food and drink sector, while the lower end of the sector will continue to outperform the rest. In line with this, we believe that Dia is one of a select few Western Europe-based food retailers with good near-term growth prospects in the region.
