Expressed as workday and seasonally adjusted series, the Jan - May retail turnover advanced 7.5 pct YoY following growth in non-food sales (+8.8 pct), sales of food, beverages and tobacco (+7.5 pct) and sales of automotive fuels in specialized stores (+5.2 pct).
The retail turnover (except for trade in motor vehicles and motorcycles) this May was 6.4 percent up YoY as raw series, and 6.6 pct higher as workday and seasonally adjusted series, with automotive fuel sales, non-food sales and sales of food, beverages and tobacco witnessing major advances in both reporting variants.
Expressed as raw series, the retail turnover (except for trade in motor vehicles and motorcycles) this May was 4.1 pct higher compared to April 2018 as an effect of growth in automotive fuel sales in specialized stores (+8.3 pct), sales of non-foods (+3.4 pct) and sales of food, beverages and tobacco (+2.2 pct).
