Spanish retailer Eroski has posted a reduced half-year loss despite a drop in sales.
The company on Friday (30 September) reported an after-tax loss of EUR33m (US$43.9m) for the six months to the end of July due to the impact of financial costs on its bottom line. The loss compared to the EUR42m Eroski filed in the first half of its previous financial year.
