We need a present perfect here because the worry is still true. The economists are worried at present.
Hence past tense "raised" is incorrect here.
Does this help?

If I go by what you say then shouldn't it be "Many economists HAVE SAID that.....".
My understanding "Surge in retail sales has raised hopes" means apart from economists other people still hope about that recovery.
Thanks

Always remember one thing: Do not question what is written in the non underlined portion
The surge happened in the past and is raising hopes till now, when the economists are saying something.
