OKSZ expect increase in consumption for 2011

Overall, an increase in consumption is expected in trade in 2011 – told Vámos György, the Secretary-General of the National Trade Association (OKSZ) to MTI.

According to him; several factors can influence the pace of expansion. Such as the increase in fuel or food prices. The “price” of the cold winter can also affect consumption, which occurs when the heating bills are paid. Another factor is the evolution of the forint exchange rate, since this is a significant cost factor for those who have foreign currency loans.
