Trade Association: Easter brings 40-50 billion HUF additional revenues

During the pre-Easter holiday shoppings retail sales jump with 40-50 billion HUF – the secretary general of the National Retail Federation told M1 news channel on Sunday.

Vámos György described that in such cases 50-60 million eggs, 1,000 tons of candies and 8-9 billion HUF worth ham is sold in the stores.

He added that an increasing labor shortage occurs in retail trade. The market will therefore enforce wage increases, so this year a larger wage increase can be expected in the sector – he indicated. (MTI)
