H&M sees German 2008 sales rising despite crisis

DUESSELDORF, Oct 21 (Reuters) - Swedish fashion giant Hennes & Mauritz still expects sales in Germany to grow this year despite weakening consumer sentiment in Europe's largest economy, the company's German head said on Tuesday, October 21st.

H&M expects German same-store sales to grow at a single-digit percentage rate, Thorsten Mindermann said.

In 2007, H&M reported sales of 2.35 billion euros ($3.11 billion) in Germany, up 7 percent year-on-year.

German clothing retailers are struggling as consumers hold back on spending in light of the current financial crisis.

Germany's biggest retailer, Metro , said in July it would speed up the disposal of its Alder fashion stores and Karstadt-Quelle's former fashion retail subsidiaries Wehmeyer and SinnLeffers filed for insolvency earlier this year.

While H&M and Spain-based rival Inditex have weathered the crisis better than some due to their price-conscious fashion focus, they are also feeling the squeeze. In September, H&M reported a 2 percent year-on-year fall in group sales at established stores.

H&M has opened 20 new stores in Germany so far this year and aims for another 10 by year-end. "There is still a lot of potential for expansion," Mindermann said. (Reporting by Anneli Palmen, writing Eva Kuehnen; Editing by Paul Bolding)
