In June, the growth of retail trade in the Czech Republic accelerated
In June, the growth of retail sales in the Czech Republic rose to 4.4 percent on an annual basis after 3 percent in May, the Czech Statistical Office announced on Monday in Prague.
Compared to the previous month, the increase in June was 0.7 percent. The growth was mostly influenced by the continued increase in the revenues of internet stores.
“The year-on-year increase in the revenues of retail trade continues for the seventh month. Revenues from the sale of food, industrial goods and fuel rose at the same time. The largest increase in revenue was shown at internet stores and drugstores”
Jana Gotvaldová, director of the statistical office, declared at a press conference.
The revenues of drugstores increased by 18.9 percent, those of stores selling pharmaceutical products by 6.4 percent, and those selling computer and communication devices by 1.1 percent. The revenues of internet stores and shipping services showed a 22 percent increase.
