Hungarian Retailers Optimistic About Christmas
"This Christmas season appears to be a successful one for retailers, based on turnover recorded last Sunday, the second Sunday before Christmas, Népszabadság reports. Turnover at Media Markt on Sunday was up 10% from one year earlier. Demand for LCD TV sets, intelligent telephones, laptop computers, washing machines and coffee machines was above average, said sales manager Balázs Szánthó. Tesco reported that turnover at its outlets on Sunday was 5% higher than one year earlier.

The market has exploded since last Monday, according to Extreme Digital CEO Balázs Várkonyi."
