President Ciutat Castelló Center predicts that employers will lower prices to rise does not freeze the sales tax
The sales campaign has meant "a turning point" for commerce Castellon, says the president of Center Ciutat Castelló, José Luis Verchili, who emphasizes that he "has broken the downward trend that began in 2007." In fact, the veteran entrepreneur is quick to affirm that "it seems that after years of bleeding, we have now bottomed out and climb the stairs, but very slowly." That yes, the increase could be described as "symbolic", since the percentages reported are lower "than those we expected," qualifies Verchili, who says that the segment has been the greatest beneficiary of home accessories, which was precisely "He who has suffered the rigors of the crisis." the average growth of sales in this sector compared with those of sales in 2009 "can not exceed 5%, although there is setting that target increases to 8%." Home textiles, furniture and decoration have been areas that have been pulled from the Plugins section of households, while household "has grown, but less, around 3%. The personal equipment also increased by about 3%, thanks both to lower temperatures like that "you can find the best prices in recent years," says Verchili, who noted that "to increase sales, all traders have reduced the maximum profit margins. Doing so has managed to "return to the illusion that the consumer sector and recover part of the lost confidence." Precisely Verchili says the VAT hike at two points to take effect in the second half of 2010 "will not be felt in the final price of the products, because the employer will adjust to maximize their margins so as not to disrupt the new trend. " That yes, the president of Castelló Ciutat Center says there are areas in which "better align the margins will be virtually impossible." For Verchili, rising prices by increasing taxes, and even in very small numbers, can be "very negative, as there is a very important psychological factor that could retract consumption." The outlook for the coming months are also very positive thanks to the traditional period of communion: "When it comes to the small house, the family takes money from under the stones," explains Verchili, who emphasizes that in the wedding section , there has been a slight drop in household budgets, but the reckoning occurs in all respects, "including in the wedding dress, which was an item that only a few years ago almost no one could fault with the price . Communions are very profitable for trade "and not just for the money that move, but it covers many areas: Not only textile but also in regard to gifts, shoes, makeup, hair ...", says.
