“Given the continued decline in prices, which reached 6.6% in some specialist formats, and the fierce struggle between competitors, Coop has again defended itself in the Swiss retail market,” the company said yesterday (6 January).

The company’s total net turnover, including retail, wholesale and production, was up 0.8% at CHF26.9bn.
Coop will report its full annual results on 25 February.
