MOSCOW, Oct 24 (Reuters) - Russia's biggest food retailer Magnit on Friday raised its forecast for revenue growth and a core profit margin this year, after reporting strong third-quarter results, Interfax news agency reported on Friday.

According to Interfax, Sergei Galitsky, Magnit Chief Executive Officer, said he now expected full-year sales to rise 31-32 percent, compared to his previous forecast for 26-29 percent growth.
