The Italians do not purchase even during winter price reductions

Italian households purchase the half the amount during winter price reductions as the economic crisis began. Experts say the government's austerity measures have led to a reduction in consumption.

According to the Italian consumer protection authority’s estimations an average of 224 euros (ie 65 thousand HUF) will be spend by families this year, in the stores that are offering discounts. At the beginning of the economic crisis this amount was double. (Hír Tv, Magyar Nemzet Online)
