Polish retail sales went up by 8.4% YoY in September after an 8% increase in August, Eurostat, the EU’s statistics agency, reported on November 8.
Month on month, retail sales went up by 1.4%, the agency also said.
Retail sales in the eurozone fell by 0.6% YoY in September after a 2% decline a month before.
In monthly terms, the eurozone’s retail sales rose by 0.4% following a 0.3% drop in the previous month.
Eurostat annual growth figures are work-day adjusted, while the monthly growth figures are also seasonally adjusted.
Eurostat data also include small companies which employ fewer than 10 people – in this case, small family shops – but exclude auto sales. (The First News/Business World Magazine)
