Growth in retail sales slowed in the Czech Republic
In April, retail sales in the Czech Republic rose by 2.7 percent year-on-year, after the 8.7 percent of March – the Czech statistical office (CSÚ) reported in Prague.
Retail sales in the Czech Republic do not include car sales and services, which rose by 6.1 percent year-on-year in April.
The Czechs spent more on food and tradables this month, but the sales of fuels did not change significantly, compared to the previous month. The biggest increase – 20.9 percent – has traditionally been achieved by Internet stores. (Kokes János, MTI)
