Expo effect boosts retail sales

世博效應(yīng)助零售額猛增

The World Expo has helped boost Shanghai's retail sales to a record in May as consumers open their purses and wallets to spend on all things Expo, local media reported. Retail sales in Shanghai topped a record RMB51b in May, up 18% from a year ago, helping the city regain its status as the top retail city in China, the Shanghai Commission of Commerce said. Expo product sales have already surpassed the target of RMB20b, reaching the target 5 months ahead of schedule.

據(jù)上海媒體報道，由于消費者競相購買世博相關(guān)產(chǎn)品，世博效應(yīng)使得上海5月份消費品零售額再創(chuàng)新高。上海市商務(wù)委公布的最新數(shù)據(jù)顯示，5月份上海全市消費品零售總額突破510億元人民幣，比去年同期增長18%，這一數(shù)字再居全國中心城市零售規(guī)模第一。世博特許商品累計銷售額已突破200億元人民幣，提前5個月超越預(yù)定目標。
