The Swedish retail chain Clas Ohlson has reported scarcely any growth in the current financial year to date. From May to July, the first quarter of fiscal 2017/2018, the company's sales came to SEK 1.783 bn, thus one per cent up on the same period in the previous year. In local currencies - Clas Ohlson also operates in Norway, Finland, Great Britain, Germany and Dubai - sales were on a par with the previous year's level.
