The Black Friday sales event has officially launched the holiday shopping season in Greece, as noted by Vasilis Korkidis, president of the Piraeus Chamber of Commerce. Consumers showed strong interest in electronics, clothing, and cosmetics, with varied discount rates. Major shopping centers experienced faster sales compared to regional markets. Eight out of ten consumers view Black Friday as an opportunity for smart shopping, and the overall sales performance has exceeded inflation impacts.
