零售管理协会:疫情令本港零售步入「超级寒冬」倡业主按营业额分成制定租金
香港零售管理协会主席谢邱安仪在电话会议上表示,由於社会气氛有所缓和,各行各业在12月份零售销售跌幅都有所收窄,而今年的农历新年在1月份有别於去年,加上疫情爆发在月底才开始发生,因此预期12月份的正面情况能延续至1月份。
然而,由年三十晚开始至今,疫情爆发的情况愈趋紧张,在这十日间各零售业的表现都变得更严峻,形容是去到一个「超级寒冬期」,珠宝商的零售表现录40至60%跌幅,部分依赖内地游客的珠宝商更录得逾6成至8成的跌幅;化妆品及服装等零售商亦见逾6成的跌幅。协会原来预期本港上半年零售销售按年下跌10至20%,但现时加上疫情的因素,相信跌幅会更大,但要再收集更多资讯才公布最新的预测。
她续指,疫情爆发对本地零售商而言是雪上加霜,而且似乎是要到夏天气温回暖时才会好转。在访问过旗下会员後,发现有意采取裁员、减薪、以及让员工放无薪假的零售商有增无减。她又相信,结业潮会在未来2至3月份陆续发生。
她强调,业主一直对零售商的纾缓措施都不足,建议商场及个别街铺业主在现时取消固定租金,并按营业额分成去决定零售商要交多少租金,提议此措施要起码维持六个月,直至零售商生意回复正常。
