Increasing Momentum In Online Retail And Digital Banking

Etsy

Etsy reported in its quarterly results that the “incredible momentum” it saw last year during pandemic-related lockdowns continued, although it cautioned that the fast pace of growth would decelerate along with a broader forecasted slowdown in eCommerce. In retail, new economic analysis shows that cooped-up U.S. consumers are eager to dress up, get out, dine in restaurants and reconnect with the world. And in banking, new and current customers are interacting with their financial institutions (FIs) using digital channels first. All this, Today in Data.
