Hungarian parliament recently repealed a much-contested law that forced retailers to close on Sundays. The move comes as a relief to many businesses who claimed the closures were impacting their turnover.
“Schemes with entertainment functions were affected the most as Sunday was traditionally the second strongest day in the week. This recent cancellation will help to boost both turnover and footfall in the rest of 2016 and will solve the operational difficulties caused by the Sunday closing,” said Zsolt Kákosy, MRICS head of asset services of CBRE Hungary.
