FMCG retail down by 2.8% in May
22:34
Retail trade in FMCG stores fell by 2.8 percent year-on-year in May, according to estimates from the Polish Trade Chamber (PIH). In month-on-month terms it fell by 8.8 percent.
The monthly decline is probably due to the timing of Easter this year, said Joanna Chilicka from PIH. The annual change may result from the closing down of stores.
The chamber calculates the estimates based on a survey of small, medium-sized and large stores belonging to PIH members, who control about 20 percent of the FMCG retail market.
