MILAN--Prada said on Wednesday that its preliminary sales for
2015 were flat compared with the previous year at 3.5 billion euros
($3.9 billion), hampered by China's slowing economy and a strong
U.S. dollar.
The Italian fashion company, listed in Hong Kong, said that
sales in the Asia-Pacific region fell 4% compared with the previous
year at current exchange rates and 16% at constant exchange
rates.
Sales in the American market decreased 9% in real terms because
of the significant strengthening of the U.S. dollar which affected
the number of tourists to the region, the company said.
European sales, on the other hand, rose 6% at current exchange
rates, because of a steady stream of tourists.
