Thanks to strong business in the UK and other European countries.

Because of this, Primark has seen sales equal to its Q3 like-for-like sales to be 3 per cent ahead compared to what it was during the same quarter two years back.

In the Q4, however, the like-for-like sales are expected to be 17 per cent lower than Q4 two years ago – all thanks to changes in public health measures in major markets to stop the spread of Delta variant.
