The economic situation of trade in 2021
In 2021, the activity in the commercial sectors improves compared to the Covid-19 year 2020. In wholesale trade, sales would catch up the 2020 losses and exceed their 2019 level. In retail trade, sales would also catch up, though unequally: the lack of tourists following the ongoing pandemic weighs upon sales in clothing, footwear, leather goods, watches and jewelry. Finally, sales motor trade would not catch up with their previous-pandemic level.
