Purchase fever: Stormy weather may discourage many consumers
It is expected to be a weaker Christmas season for retailers, than a year ago. In principle, the peak of the Christmas rush is expected for the weekend, but it is questionable whether the predicted stormy weather may put a bad impact on traffic.
The crisis has an impact on the Christmas season: the experience has shown that Hungarians spend less, compared to last year, so the dealers are forced to reduce their prices.
According to Vámos György, the Secretary-General of the National Trade Association; in 2008, 856 billion HUF was the total trade turnover in December, this year it is expected to be about 825 billion HUF – reports mfor.hu.
