"The Easter holiday season, despite its short duration and high food prices, at first estimate is estimated to have exceeded the purchasing activity of previous years." This is what the president of the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Vassilis Korkidis, said yesterday, adding that "the Easter turnover, which will be reflected in the May statistics, is certain to exceed last year's 1.5 billion euros by a double-digit percentage." .
Furthermore, Mr. Korkidis reported that, despite initial misgivings about limited consumption due to punctuality, traffic was up in both food markets and retail outlets.
"In most of the central commercial markets of the regions of Attica, sales were improved and the average number of visitors to the shops significantly increased. The parents and godparents, like every year and this year as well, in every possible way responded to their family and social obligations in a dignified way, buying the traditional Easter gifts at their godparents. The "Easter" and the "godfather's basket" did their job, since they worked preventively to hold down prices," he emphasized.
