Bremerhaven. (bm) Net sales increased 44 percent to USD 108.5 billion in the first quarter, compared with USD 75.5 billion in first quarter 2020. Operating income jumped to USD 8.9 billion in Q1-2021, compared with USD 4.0 billion in Q1-2020 – Amazon.com Inc. said in its financial statement for its first quarter ended March 31, 2021. On the one hand, these are figures that are far away from what average companies usually deal with. On the other hand, they give us an idea of what Unctad means when the (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) organization talks about global e-commerce sales currently increasing dramatically. The world is changing, and we are right in the middle of it. Other topics:
