WORLDWIDE EFFECTS OF COVID-19 ARE NOW INCLUDED IN CALCULATIONS

Government restrictions on retail to contain COVID-19 have had a significant impact on retail sales worldwide. The developments of the past months have now been incorporated into MBI’s calculations and show significant effects on retail turnover, retail spending and retail centrality.
