Over the past five years, 18,000 shops have closed in Hungary, leaving a retail network of 116,000 shops at the end of last year. And there are huge differences in daily spending across the country, the business news site napi.hu reports.
The number of retail outlets including tobacco shops has decreased significantly in recent years, with the total number of retail outlets in Hungary down to 116,000 at the end of 2020, according to official data by the country's Central Statistical Office. This is 18,000 below the level at the end of 2015 and a decrease of 4,000 compared to the end of 2019.
The decline in the number of shops is mainly due to the disappearance of non-food shops, but the number of food shops has also fallen to a lesser extent.
Looking at the different types of shops, it is clear that a large number of clothing shops closed in 2015, with more than 3,600 fewer shops. In addition, more than a thousand second-hand clothes shops, hundreds of florists, bakeries and butchers disappeared from the market. The number of shops selling other manufactured goods in the official figures has fallen significantly by more than 10,000.
Last year, the average daily turnover per inhabitant was HUF 3,200, but there are very significant differences across the country, as well as substantial differences in net wages.
In the capital, retail sales per capita exceeded HUF 3.900. By contrast, in Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county, NE Hungary, the figure was below HUF 2,400.
