The National Retail Federation (NRF) announced today it expects sales in November and December 2016, excluding autos, gas and restaurant sales, to increase a solid 3.6% — significantly higher than the 10-year average of 2.5 percent and further above the seven-year average of 3.4 percent since recovery began in 2009. That takes forecasted sales up to a whopping $655.8 billion and $117 billion, respectively.

NRF’s holiday sales forecast is based on an economic model using several indicators including, consumer credit, disposable personal income and previous monthly retail sales releases.
