香港零售管理協會料7至8月零售銷售錄單至雙位數跌幅示威持續將進一步拖累全年表現
香港零售管理協會主席謝邱安儀在電話會議上表示,今年6月有五個星期日,按道理零售銷售表現不會比去年差,但卻錄得6.7%的跌幅,可見跌幅一直擴大,相信主要是中美貿易戰以及本地示威遊行活動所致。從類別來看,對民生消費用品的影響不大,但對珠寶首飾及百貨公司的影響則較大。
她續指,綜合協會大部分會員的意見後,預期7至8月的零售銷售將會錄得單至雙位數跌幅。受到香港不同地區的示威遊行影響,個別地區的店舖生意跌幅高達7至8成。雖然仍未公布7月的訪港旅客數字,但有會員反映感受到旅客區的人流有不少於3成至5成的跌幅。協會維持全年零售銷售則錄雙位數跌幅的預測,若示威事件愈維持長時間,會再進一步拖累全年跌幅。
被問及零售商會否因而有縮舖及減省人手的安排時,她回應指目前大家仍採取審慎及觀望的態度,若情況持續下去,裁員的情況或不能避免。據其了解,目前零售商正計劃取消期間限定店等臨時櫃位,但卻未收到有會員消息要縮減舖位,但若問題持續下去,不排除有減少店舖的情況。她呼籲,在目前的困境下,業主宜與零售商共渡時艱,慎重考慮個別租戶在租金及租期上的要求,幫助行業平穩過渡困難及保護香港經濟。
