Retail turnover increased by 0.6%

The significant slowdown in retail sales could be caused by the effects of the sja refund, the 13th month pension, and the six-month gun money, as well as the significantly rising inflation and the significant rise in household energy prices for households that exceed the average consumption. The turnover of grocery stores also decreased further, which may have been caused partly by the effect of further accelerating inflation reducing real incomes, partly by precautionary savings due to the partial elimination of overheads, partly by more conscious purchases and the avoidance of food waste.
