In the period from May to September, sales in e-commerce still lay at around 42 per cent over the corresponding previous year's level. However in these five months, overall sales by Clas Ohlson sank by 2 per cent to SEK 3.392 bn (EUR 327 mio), yet in contrast, rose by 3 per cent in local currencies.
