Returning to trading on Sundays would only partially help to recover

The losses of shopping centers after three lockdowns are estimated at approximately PLN 32 billion. Their owners will record revenues by about PLN 5 billion lower, i.e. over 45 percent annual revenue. Shopping centers have still not rebuilt footfall to pre-pandemic levels. Therefore, the industry appeals to the government to restore trade on Sundays, which would allow it to recover at least some of the losses after lockdown.
