Czechs spent 11 pct more in e-shops in H1 in annual terms

Czechs spent 51.5 billion crowns in e-shops in the first half of the year, 11 per cent more in annual terms. Growth slowed during hot weather, which came to the Czech Republic in April.

Overall spending is expected to rise, as since last year the Czech Republic has the largest number of e-shops in Europe per capita, while brick and mortar stores increasingly offer goods online. In 2017 e-shop sales grew 18 per cent to 115 billion.
