Compared to the same quarter of the previous year, however, the number of trades was up 2.32%. In terms of numbers, the first three months were very lively. The figure for the previous quarter was exceeded by 17.64% and that of the same quarter of the previous year by 14.88%. The average ticket size in the 1st quarter was down 18.12%, and the median was 4.29% above the previous year's figure.
