Business in different economic environment.

As inflation occurs in the UK, businesses increase the prices of their products. Because of this, less customers are going to buy from that store as they are expecting cheaper prices. Stores such as LIDL and ALDI ship in goods from their own country, the tax in their own country is quite high but when it comes into the UK, the tax rate decreases by a lot, meaning that they sell it for cheaper but still gain profit and effect Tesco and other supermarkets.

The unemployment rate in Sri lanka has currently gone down from 4.6% to 4.5%. However, The inflation and interest rate has gone up drastically. This is bad for businesses in Sri lanka as customers are not willing to buy goods as much as before, as the prices have gone up a lot.

Political:

UK Co-operation tax – 20%

As the co-operative tax has gone low from 28% to 20%. Its very good for the business and beacuse if that they get a good net income over the years.

Sri lanka Co-operation tax – 15% (2015 – 2016)

As the co-operative tax has gone low from 28% to 15%. This is good for the business even though there are not many young people in the overall population, the business will be fine.

Social:

UK population size – 65,332,632(2015)

Sri lankas Population size – 20,810,816 (2016)

Age of population:

UK

0-14= 11,100 million

15-64=41,704 million

65+ = 10,378 million

As the population of young people is greater than the population of 65+ so Tesco will make a lot more profit.

Sri lanka

0-14= 5,087,817

15-64 = 14,570,430

65+=17,295,044

As ther population of 65+ is greater than the population of young people, the demand will be very low as elder people don’t consume as many goods as younger people. The government are trying to increase the population of young poeple in demand of work forces.
