Shops are shining stars now… or maybe not

From April 8, 2021, the stores could reopen, which obviously pulled the shopkeeper’s scales upwards, if slowly. Pre-Easter shopping also strengthened this period, with a 15-17% surge in grocery revenues. But in the monthly statistics, when you calculate the volume data, you’re going to have to deduct the increase from that. And in the previous year, there was no pantyion in these weeks, so food shopping was more subdued at the time.
