BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT
Finland
• In Finland, owing to the decline of consumers’ purchasing power, the
trading sector’s performance is expected to remain weak in all
product lines, which may be complicated further by actions taken to
balance the public finances
Skandinavia and the Baltic countries
• The market is expected to grow
Russia
• Economic situation and consumers’ purchasing power, as well as
the outlook have weakened further
Belarus
• Consumers’ purchasing power is expected to strengthen,
hyperinflation is expected to ease
19. FUTURE OUTLOOK 10/2015-9/2016
19
The general economic situation and the expected trend in consumer demand vary in
Kesko’s different operating countries. In Finland, owing to the decline of consumers’
purchasing power, the trading sector’s performance is expected to remain weak in all
product lines, which may be complicated further by actions taken to balance the
public finances. In the Finnish grocery trade, the tough competitive situation is
expected to continue. The market performance of the Finnish building and home
improvement trade is expected to remain weak. The outlook for the car trade is also
uncertain. With respect to foreign countries, the economic situation and consumers’
purchasing power, as well as the outlook in Russia have weakened further. Instead,
in Sweden and Norway and the Baltic countries, the market is expected to grow.
Kesko Group's net sales for the next 12 months are expected to be lower than
the level of the preceding 12 months. The operating profit excluding non-
recurring items for the next 12-month period is expected to equal the operating
profit level of the preceding 12 months.
