A Christmas discount? The president of the strategic committee of the E.Leclerc centers Michel-Edouard Leclerc, guest of BFMTV this Sunday, warned consumers that inflation will affect Christmas products this year, including certain flagship products.
“Some consumers will make concessions by eating first-price pasta … to give their child a nice toy,” he said.
To justify this increase, the businessman recalled that today few toys are produced in France and highlighted the increase in transport costs.
“sustained inflation”
“On the other hand, it is the role of the merchant, we are not obliged to transfer everything,” he assured.
Michel-Édouard Leclerc more generally deplored the development of a form of “impoverishment of consumption patterns” in France due to inflation.
According to the president of the strategic committee of the E.Leclerc centers, who evokes a “real and lasting inflation”, the rise in prices will continue in France in the coming months, even for more than a year.
“I don’t know how long it will be,” he admitted.
