Ambitious plans

Over the years we’ve worked with world giants like ABB, Siemens, Toshiba, France Transfo or General Electric. For some were functioned as a qualified supplier – “qualified” meaning we were first subjected to a detailed technology and quality inspection, and only received the contract after being positively verified, Stalprodukt SA President Piotr Janeczek tells Polish Market.

WEEKLY MARKET ANALYSIS

Retail sales up again in June
Retail sales growth in nominal terms accelerated in June to 6.4% y-o-y from 4.3% y-o-y in May. The increase was higher than expected. In real terms, retail sales growth accelerated to 4.5% y-o-y from 2.0% y-o-y. June was a consecutive month with retail sales figures stronger than expected, which indicates that consumption is recovering after it slowed significantly at the beginning of the year. Private consumption is driven by an improvement on the labour market coupled with a rise in disposable incomes. In Q2 2010 retail sales grew by around 3% y-o-y in nominal terms and around 1% y-o-y in real terms. On the basis of retail sales and industrial production data, it can be estimated that the GDP growth rate was close to 3%.
