Hungarian retailers recover from shopping ban

The Sunday turnover of the biggest retail chains in Hungary has recovered to the level from before the implementation of the Sunday shopping ban only by now - after about four months, the financial website portfolio.hu reports.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s government practically banned retail stores from opening on Sundays, with a few exceptions, in March 2015 and abolished the controversial regulation only this April. This means it took stores about four months to heal from this particular 'wound’, the website says.
