Retail Market Outlook for 2024
According to Colliers experts, in 2024, the lower inflation rate and positive economic growth may have a beneficial impact on net real wages and individual entrepreneurs incomes. This improvement could positively affect disposable income and retail turnover. Additionally, the increasing foreign tourism is expected to have a positive effect on the high street segment. This optimistic economic outlook also validates our decision to relaunch our retail department. I am confident that under the leadership of Anita Csörgő and with the addition of Diána Haáz-Bencsik, our integrated service model will gain further momentum stated Kata Mazsaroff, Colliers CEO.
