Carrefour Q3 revenue up

New York -- Carrefour SA reported that its revenue edged up in its third quarter, driven by strong sales in its convenience stores and markets in Asia and Latin America.



The company said Thursday that sales rose 2.1% to €22.6 billion ($29 billion) in the July to September quarter.



Recessions in Spain and Italy impacted Carrefour’s revenue in Europe, where sales were down 2.2%. Sales in Asia and Latin America increased, however, rising 12.3% and 5.2% respectively.
