Retail trade is the basic business model of the modern consumer supply chain, through the resale of material goods or services and the promotion of profit-seeking products.
In this way, retail trade has always been an important productive tertiary sector of the Greek economy with a significant contribution to the Gross Domestic Product.
At the same time, in the recent context, monitoring the evolution of the size of the retail trade activity classes is important, given the effects, direct and indirect, that exist due to the pandemic of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
In addition, through the monitoring of the size of retail trade, conclusions are drawn about the evolution of consumption (in size, characteristics, preferences and substitution of products) of Greek society, citizens and businesses of the country.
