Vaatemyynti vilkastuu t n vuonna viisi prosenttia
Article Abstract:
In Finland, garment sales are predicted to grow by nearly 5% in 1998, causing the field's turnover to increase to FIM 9.8bn (USD 1.8bn). Especially favourable this year has been to wholesalers. However, Finns spend only 4.6% of their income on clothes and textiles, the EU average is 5.8%. Finns will buy Finnish clothes for approx. FIM 2bn in 1998. Finnish clothes account for less than 20% of the textile sales in Finland. According to forecasts, the share of domestic production in textile sales will decrease slightly in 1998. Imported clothes come to Finland mostly from China, Estonia, Portugal and Great Britain. Over half of Finland's textile production is exported, mainly to Sweden, Germany, Norway and Great Britain.
