“For 2017, it is expected an increase of 20% in Romania,” said Stanciu.

Dante International, the operator of eMAG, reported a turnover of RON1.7 billion (EUR383 million) in 2015, up 36% on the year. It results that eMAG’s turnover in Romania stood at nearly EUR536 million.

Data reported by Dante International reflect the company’s cash-ins in Romania and partially, those obtained on other markets.

Asked whether eMAG group, which also has operations in Bulgaria, Hungary and Poland, will reach a turnover of EUR1 billion in 2017, Stanciu said this target is likely to be reached.
