UK retail sales growth slows to lowest level this year
Retail sales growth slowed to its lowest rate this year last week according to new data, although it was still ahead on a year-on-year basis.

Fashion sales were up 2.6%, the slowest increase recorded since the first week of June this year
Total like-for-like sales increased by 2.1% in the week ending 21 August, compared to the same week last year, according to the BDO High Street Sales Tracker.
Fashion sales were up 2.6%, the slowest increase recorded since the first week of June this year.
