Retail sales dynamics on the rise
08:47
Retail sales at constant prices in September 2022 were 4.1 percent higher than a year ago (compared to an increase of 5.1 percent in September 2021). Compared with August 2022, retail sales were down 2.8 percent. In January-September 2022, sales increased by 6.8 percent y/y (up 7.3 percent y/y in 2021).
The data relates to retail and non-trading enterprises with more than nine employees. The grouping of enterprises was done based on PKD 2007, placing the enterprise in a specific category according to the prevailing type of activity. The recorded changes in the volume of retail sales in individual groups of types of the enterprise may therefore also result from changes in the enterprise's predominant type of activity and organizational changes (e.g. mergers). This does not affect the dynamics of total retail sales.
