Summary Dates of the beginning and end of summer sales 2020 Date 2nd markdown / 3rd markdown Balances 2020 : watch out for scams summer sale : the definition in France

[updated may 25, 2020 at 10: 50 am] Guest of RMC and BFMTV on 25 may, the Economy minister Bruno Le Maire has said "favourable" to a postponement of the date of the beginning of the summer sale "for three to four weeks" . Objective : to allow smaller retailers to catch-up part of the losses occasioned by the confinement, while selling their stocks with a margin correct. The minister explains it thus : "It is necessary to imagine what it is when you have a shop of clothing, shoes or other, and that there was nothing sold for three months, it must be able to rebuild its cash".

all the more that the recovery appears to be uneven across sectors, as emphasized by the tenant of Bercy : "there is a recovery that began" in some sectors like the building and the iron and steel industry [but the situation is more contrasted in the shops". Bruno Le Maire, said on 25 may : "We will continue to discuss with the federations of the merchants." The announcement of the official date of the beginning balances, therefore, could well wait until the end of the month, while some expected it to be made as soon as Monday, may 25, on the occasion of the point of the First minister Edouard Philippe on the second phase of the déconfinement. The decision of the government in all cases must be made public by the end of the month of may. The start of the period of the promos national summer is initially set to Wednesday 24 June until Tuesday 21st of July (4 weeks) in most of the French departments (see derogations).

the minister of The Economy had already acknowledged at the end of April than the end of June was "too early" to start the balances, in the context of the health crisis, the Covid-19. He said he was then "opened to a gap either at the beginning of the month of July, or even later, after the summer". This is an in-between that seems to emerge, as the balance leans now towards the end of July. According to the information of the Echos, may 20, the date of July 15, which would have the preference of Bruno Le Maire for the start of the summer sales, as well as a duration of five weeks (instead of four).

In mid-may, the president of the Confederation of traders of France, Francis Palombi, was in fact a deferral account balances as at 22 July that "the traders who have not been able to sell and pay for their products in the spring to resume" selling their stock "at a fair price with a normal profit margin". He had also hoped that "the promotions are frozen a month before the sale", to avoid "weakening even more the very small enterprises and small traders". This is not the case at the end of may, since many stores offer about excluding the sales from the beginning of the déconfinement, in order to alleviate their inventory and trying to re-create economic health.
