Poland’s break shopping record
12:09
According to economists at Pekao SA, Poland’s retail sales in May were 13.9% higher than a year earlier and 8.2% higher than in April. The data were marginally worse than earlier expectations and the weakest since February, but this was mainly due to base effects. In March and April a year ago, sales looked weak because parts of the economy were closed, so now the rebound looked very solid. In May, on the other hand, stores opened after the break a year ago, so the benchmark was higher than in April and March.
