  • Europe ex France: Sales -4.3%* with Belgian turnaround more than offset by slowdown in non-food in Southern Europe
  • Latin America: Sales +6.8%* driven by the confirmed hypermarket turnaround in Brazil and continued growth at Atacadao

Lars Olofsson, Président Directeur Général de Carrefour, a déclaré:
« Carrefour affiche une légère croissance de ses ventes en 2011 grâce aux marchés émergents, en dépit du ralentissement de la croissance économique qui a davantage affecté les dépenses discrétionnaires au 4ème trimestre. Dans cet environnement économique difficile, Carrefour concentre tous ses efforts sur l'exécution de son plan d'action en France et en Europe du sud, axé sur une politique constante de bas prix et des promotions mieux ciblées. Dans le même temps, tout en renforçant son attention sur une gestion efficace de ses ressources et de ses coûts, Carrefour continuera le déploiement de sa stratégie multi-canal, l'élargissement de son offre de produits à marque Carrefour et son expansion dans les marchés émergents. »
