"After the sharp decrease in the first quarter, the market has started stabilizing in the second quarter. April was quite good for PC sales. Still, I expect the PC market to see a drop of 30-50% this year,” Valentin Negoita, head of the Romanian Association of Producers and Distributors of IT&C Equipment, told MEDIAFAX Thursday.

He added that, in Romania, the financial crisis is coupled with consumers’ lack of confidence in the recovery of the economy.

"Beside a financial crisis, we also have a confidence crisis. People have money but hesitate to buy because they don’t know what tomorrow brings. 2009 is the worst of the past ten years,” Negoita said.
