Lars Olofsson, CEO and Board Member of Carrefour, declared: “Carrefour turned in a solid sales performance in the third quarter in spite of a trading environment that remains challenging in a number of key markets. We are particularly satisfied by our strong sales in emerging markets, such as China and Latin America, and by encouraging signs of recovery in such markets as Belgium, Poland and Taiwan. Further one-off charges related to Brazil, resulting from the ongoing audit we have ordered, now lead us to estimate our 2010 Activity Contribution at around € 3bn. We remain focused on the flawless execution of our Transformation Plan and notably on the preparation of the roll-out of Carrefour Planet."
